A turnover paint is a different job than a repaint for an owner. The goal is durable, neutral, and fast, so the suite shows well and the next tenant does not call about scuffs in month two. Here is how we approach it.
Use a sheen that wipes
Eggshell or satin in the main living areas, satin in bathrooms and kitchens. A flat paint in a rental shows every mark and does not wipe clean. The small upgrade in sheen pays for itself in fewer repaints.
Paint the high-touch walls
The entrance hallway, the kitchen, and the bathroom take the most wear. If the budget is tight, those are the walls to paint. A bedroom in good condition can wait. We tell landlords where the money matters and where it does not.
One colour, one sheen
A single neutral colour and one sheen across the suite keeps the paint cost down and makes touch-ups easy later. You can patch and paint a wall without the colour being visibly different.
Prep the damage, not the whole suite
Nail holes, dents, and scuffs get filled and sanded. We do not strip the whole suite. The prep is targeted at the damage, which keeps the turnover cost reasonable while still leaving a clean finish.
