Rental Turnover Service in Palm Beach County
One visit between guests, with a photo report you can put in front of an owner.
What we do on the visit
- Rekey the unit or reset smart lock codes between guests
- Install battery powered keypad locks so codes replace key handoffs
- Touch up walls, trim, and door edges where the last guest left marks
- Patch anchor holes and corner dings, matched to the wall texture
- Repair or replace damaged blind slats, wands, cords, and vertical panels
- Tighten, level, and re-anchor furniture, shelving, and closet systems
- Remount or resecure televisions and tidy loose cable runs
- Assemble replacement furniture and remove the packaging
- Reseal shower and tub joints where mildew has taken hold
- Send a dated photo report of everything found and everything done
The turnover list is always the same list
Rental units in Palm Beach County wear in a pattern. Blinds are the most damaged item in almost every unit, because slats bend and wands vanish. Walls collect luggage marks and anchor holes from things guests hung and took down. Furniture loosens. Shower joints grow the black line back. Locks accumulate keys nobody can account for.
None of that is a big repair. All of it is what makes a unit read as tired in photographs and in reviews, and it is exactly the kind of work that gets deferred because each item alone is not worth a visit. Doing the whole list in one visit is the point of this package.
Keys are the problem worth solving first
Every rental owner eventually has the key conversation. Copies get made. A cleaner keeps one. A code gets shared in a message thread and stays shared. Nobody can say with confidence who can currently get into the unit.
There are two clean answers, and we do both. A rekey between long stay tenants kills every existing key in minutes without buying hardware. Or a battery powered keypad lock, which lets you create a code per guest, set it to expire, and delete it, and lets you change it from your phone from anywhere. For a short stay unit the keypad usually pays for itself in one season of avoided key handoffs. We install these on the door prep you already have, with no wiring involved.
The photo report is what you actually buy
Every turnover visit ends with a dated set of photographs showing what we found and what we did. That record does several jobs. It settles a damage question with a departing guest. It gives an owner who lives out of state real evidence that the unit is being maintained. It gives a manager something to attach to an owner statement instead of a line item nobody can picture.
It also builds a history. After a few turnovers you can see which items keep coming back, which usually points at something worth fixing properly rather than patching every cycle. A blind that gets damaged every third guest is a blind in the wrong place.
Working inside association rules
Roughly two thirds of rentals in this county sit inside association governed communities, and the rules bite hardest on rentals. Vendor access lists at the gate. Certificates of insurance required before anyone enters. Quiet hours that determine when drilling or patch sanding can happen. Elevator reservations and padding for anything being carried up. Restrictions on what may be changed on the outward facing side of a unit door.
We keep the paperwork current and ask which building we are entering before the visit is booked. For owners with units in several communities, that is a meaningful part of the value, because the alternative is briefing a different handyman on a different rule set every time something breaks.
Between guests, and between seasons
Turnover work runs on a short clock, and the reality of this market is that the busiest turnover months are January through March, when the season is at its peak and there is no slack in the calendar. We would rather hold a standing slot for an owner or a manager with several units than promise to appear at short notice for everyone.
Between seasons, the same visit gets longer and more useful. An empty unit in April or May is the right moment for a full interior repaint, cabinet refinishing, closet work, or anything that needs cure time, because nobody is stepping on it. Owners who plan the heavy items into that window stop patching in the busy months.

Can you handle a unit between two bookings?
Yes, that is the design of the package. We work from a fixed punch list so nothing is discovered halfway through, and we finish with a dated photo set. For owners with several units, a standing slot works better than short notice calls, particularly from January through March when the season is at its peak here.
Should I rekey or install a keypad lock?
Rekey for long stay tenants, since it kills every existing key without new hardware. A battery powered keypad for short stays, because you create a code per guest, set it to expire, and delete it from your phone. Both fit the door prep you already have and neither involves any wiring.
What does the photo report include?
A dated set showing what we found and what we did, room by room, plus close ups of anything damaged. Owners use it to settle questions with departing guests, managers attach it to owner statements, and over several turnovers it shows which items keep recurring and are worth fixing properly.
Do you work with property managers as well as owners?
Yes. We keep a certificate of insurance and a W-9 on file, work from a written scope, and can invoice monthly against a portfolio rather than per visit. We also handle gate access lists and building credentialing ahead of time so a scheduled visit does not fail at the entrance.
Can you do bigger work between seasons?
That is the right time for it. An empty unit in April or May suits a full interior repaint, cabinet refinishing, closet systems, or anything that needs cure time, because nobody is stepping on wet paint. Owners who plan the heavy items into that window stop doing patch work during the busy months.
