The problem this removes

Landlords and property managers often juggle several small vendors for tenant turnover: a painter, a handyman, an electrician, a flooring contractor, each scheduled separately and each adding days to vacancy. Tenant Space Repairs consolidates that punch-list work under one team and one schedule, so a unit moves from vacated to leasable faster.

What’s typically included

Patch and paint. Wall repair, touch-up, and full repaints between tenants.

Flooring repair and refresh. Spot repairs, carpet tile replacement, or a full flooring refresh depending on wear.

Fixture and hardware repair. Doors, hardware, lighting, and plumbing fixtures brought back to working, presentable condition.

Minor electrical and plumbing punch-list items. Outlet and switch repairs, fixture replacement, and small plumbing fixes that come up during a unit walkthrough.

Signage and storefront touch-ups. Where applicable, minor storefront and common-area-facing repairs that affect how the space shows to a prospective tenant.

What’s not typically included unless scoped

Major system replacement (HVAC, roofing, structural), full buildout or tenant improvement construction for a new tenant’s specific use, and code-required work tied to a change of occupancy classification, all of which are scoped as their own project once identified during the walkthrough.

Capability at a glance

What we self-perform, and how we disclose the rest

We self-perform general repairs, painting, flooring touch-ups, and handyman-scope fixture work directly, and coordinate licensed specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) through qualified partners under our supervision for anything requiring a licensed trade, disclosed plainly in every scope. The capability table above reflects why most standard turnovers move quickly, the bulk of punch-list items are self-performed and don’t require sequencing around a separate subcontractor’s availability.

For property managers running frequent turnover across a portfolio, this same team and process repeats at every unit, which builds a consistent quality bar and a predictable cost per turnover instead of a different outcome depending on which local vendor happened to be available that month.

Why this matters for Central Ohio landlords and property managers

Vacancy carrying costs compound fast in competitive Central Ohio retail and office markets, and a slow turnover process is one of the more controllable costs a landlord has. Coordinating a single team for the punch list, rather than sequencing multiple independent vendors, is often the single biggest lever for shortening the gap between a lease ending and a new tenant moving in.

The real cost of a slow turnover

A two-week gap between an independent painter, a separately scheduled handyman, and a third vendor for flooring doesn’t just cost the direct labor, it costs the lost rent for however many additional days the unit sits vacant while those schedules get sequenced. For a landlord managing several units, that gap compounds across every turnover in a given year. A single team that shows up once for the walkthrough and executes the full punch list on one schedule collapses that sequencing delay into days rather than weeks, which is the actual economic argument for consolidating turnover work rather than piecing it out.

Engagement path

1. Vacate walkthrough. Our team walks the space as soon as it’s vacated and documents the punch list.
2. Scope and estimate. You get a clear scope and timeline before work begins, with any items outside standard turnover repair called out separately.
3. Repair work. We complete the punch list on the agreed schedule, coordinating specialty trades where needed.
4. Lease-ready walkthrough. A final walkthrough confirms the space is ready to show or hand off to the incoming tenant.
