Lansing & Mid-Michigan
One vendor for paint, drywall, cleaning, and carpet cleaning. Your unit back on the market in days, not weeks.
What the service includes
Vacant apartments and rental units often need more than paint. Exit Strategies can coordinate drywall repair, apartment painting, move-out cleaning, carpet cleaning, and practical make-ready work around the turnover deadline.
The unit is reviewed as one scope so repair, paint and cleaning do not conflict.
Drywall and finish repairs are completed before the final painting stages.
Move-out cleaning and carpet cleaning can follow paint without another vendor handoff.
The same communication and scope structure can carry across recurring turns and multi-unit work.
For property managers
Send the move-out notice and we take it from there: Walkthrough, punch list, drywall, paint, cleaning, carpet cleaning, photo documentation, and per-unit invoicing. W-9 and COI ready, one point of contact, no chasing three vendors.
A standard one- or two-bedroom turn — paint, drywall touch-ups and a full clean — typically runs 3 to 5 days from key handoff. The sequence is fixed: inspect, patch and paint, then floors, then a top-to-bottom clean, then a final walkthrough with photo documentation.
Every vacant day costs rent. For landlords and property managers, one vendor handling paint, drywall and cleaning removes the handoffs that stretch a turn into two weeks of scheduling subcontractors. Book the turn at move-out notice and the unit can be ready before the listing photos go up.
Common questions
Speed comes from sequencing, not rushing. We walk the unit and build a punch list, complete repairs and drywall first, then paint, with the deep clean as the final step before listing. Many standard units are market-ready in days rather than weeks, though the timeline always follows the scope. Book us when you receive the move-out notice, not after the unit sits empty, and the schedule holds.
One company handling the full make-ready: drywall repair, interior painting, carpet cleaning, and move-out cleaning coordinated as a single job. Fewer vendors means fewer handoffs, one point of contact, and a shorter path from move-out to listing photos.
Yes. Multi-unit work is sequenced unit by unit with consistent scopes, so every door gets the same standard of finish. This is core work for us with apartment communities and property managers across the Lansing area.
Yes. Turnovers, multi-unit painting, drywall, cleaning, and repeat maintenance for managers and owners are a major part of our business. We work from punch lists, document with photos, invoice per unit or per scope, and handle vendor paperwork including W-9s. Learn about our property management capability.
We assess it honestly before quoting. Stain-blocking primers and odor-sealing systems solve most smoke and stain problems, and damaged drywall is replaced rather than painted over. If paint cannot fix it, we tell you that up front instead of selling you a topcoat that will fail.
Both. Vacant units are faster and cleaner to complete, which is why turns are ideally scheduled between tenants. Occupied work is planned around the tenant with protection, communication, and clear daily schedules.
Walk the unit with us, or send photos and video if you are remote. You get a written punch list and per-unit pricing, and the slot is held once the move-out date is set. For tight turns, call or text 517-402-1001 directly.
