Rental Unit Turnover Services Built Around Property Management Schedules

Vacant units cost property managers money every day they sit empty between tenants. Melani General Contractor handles the full turnover scope on tight schedules, so units return to market quickly without compromising quality.

Standard Package

Standard Turnover Package

The standard package covers wall priming, fresh paint in builder-grade neutrals, floor refinishing or replacement, and fixture cleaning. Most one-bedroom units are completed within ten to fourteen business days, depending on access and existing conditions.

  • Wall priming and patching before paint goes on
  • Builder-grade neutral paint matched to the building standard
  • Floor refinishing or plank replacement as conditions require
  • Fixture, appliance, and cabinet cleaning before handover

Custom Scope

Custom Scope Turnover

When a unit requires more than cosmetic work, the team scopes plaster repair, cabinet refacing, appliance swaps, and bathroom updates. Property managers receive a written estimate before work begins, with a defined start and finish date in NYC.

  • Plaster and drywall repair on damaged walls and ceilings
  • Cabinet refacing or replacement in kitchens and baths
  • Appliance swaps coordinated with delivery and removal
  • Written estimate with fixed start and finish dates

Estimating

Same-Day Walkthrough and Estimate

A project manager meets you at the unit, documents conditions, and submits a detailed estimate within 24 hours. This shortens the gap between move-out and contractor mobilization across the boroughs.

  • Project manager on site the same week you call
  • Conditions photographed and itemized room by room
  • Detailed estimate delivered within 24 hours
  • Faster mobilization after every move-out

72-Hour Response

Emergency Turnover Response

When a tenant vacates with little notice or leaves significant damage, crews can mobilize within 72 hours. The team prioritizes restoring habitability so the leasing office can begin showing the unit again.

  • Crew mobilization within 72 hours of the call
  • Debris removal and damaged material demolition first
  • Habitability items prioritized over cosmetic finishes
  • Leasing office updated as milestones close out

Multi-Unit Coordination

Multi-Unit Renovation Coordination for NYC Building Owners

Portfolios with several vacancies need a contractor who can run parallel projects without losing track of schedules, budgets, or documentation. Melani General Contractor coordinates multi-unit work across single buildings and scattered properties throughout the region.

Building-Wide Refresh Programs

When ownership decides to refresh several units in one push, the crew sequences work to minimize disruption to occupied apartments. Hallway scheduling, elevator reservations, and dust containment are coordinated with the superintendent.

Tenant Improvement Build-Outs

For rent-stabilized buildings or market-rate units that need to meet specific lease commitments, the team completes flooring installation, painting, and minor demolition within the agreed scope. Each unit is treated as its own project with separate sign-off.

Pre-Lease Punch List Completion

Before a new tenant signs, every unit goes through a punch list review covering outlet covers, door hardware, caulking, grout, and appliance function. Items are corrected and photographed before the leasing agent receives the keys.

Damage Documentation for Deposit Disputes

Every existing condition is photographed and itemized before work starts. Property managers receive a time-stamped report they can reference during security deposit negotiations or housing court proceedings in NYC.

Vacancy Loss

What Every Vacant Day Costs NYC Owners

Vacant units lose revenue every day they remain off-market in NYC. Fast mobilization, clear scope, and documented closeout shorten the window between move-out and the next signed lease.

  • Every vacant day drawing rent off the books while carrying costs continue
  • Slow contractor mobilization stretching the gap between move-out and showings
  • Undocumented move-out damage weakening security deposit claims
  • Unfinished punch list items delaying lease signings and key handover
