A make ready (also called a unit turn) is everything that happens between one tenant’s move-out and the next tenant’s move-in: move-out deep cleaning, wall and drywall repair, interior paint, lock rekey or replacement, blind replacement, junk and debris removal, and a final rent-ready inspection. In Columbus, most landlords stitch that together from four or five separate vendors. We run the entire make ready as one scope, one crew standard, and one invoice.
Our standard is 5 business days from keys to rent-ready, against an industry average of 9 or more. Every unit closes out with a room-by-room photo report before the invoice, so out-of-state owners and property managers never have to drive over to check the work.
We turn units across Franklinton and Hilltop doubles, Linden singles, campus units, and Franklin County suburban rentals, including:
- University District and campus-area units
- Franklinton and Hilltop doubles
- Clintonville and Olde Towne East rentals
- Whitehall, Reynoldsburg, and Grove City singles
For August campus-cycle turns near Ohio State, our OSU student housing turnover program books program slots early so University District units list on time.
Make ready pricing follows our flat tiers: Standard from $1,000, Premium from $1,800, White Glove from $2,500. See full pricing, our turnover cost guide, or the make ready checklist we work from on every unit.
