Save Time And Reduce Future Maintenance With HD Supply Property Improvement Solutions

As your property's dedicated maintenance supervisor, you're responsible for so much of the upkeep and preventive maintenance that contributes to the overall appeal of your resident community. And, without a doubt, one of your biggest and most important responsibilities is to oversee unit turns – making residential units ready for their next tenants after the previous ones have moved out.

Unit turns – no matter if they're a refresh, a repair, a replacement, or a complete renovation – take great amounts of time, effort, and resources from both you individually and your whole maintenance staff. But with HD Supply's Property Improvement Solutions, you can outsource this heavy work to a team of experts who you can trust to get the job done both on time and within budget.

Streamlining Your Multifamily & Apartment Community Renovations

Many studies have shown that unit turns are a necessary cost when it comes to running a multifamily property. That's because, upon moving in, residents expect to find a unit that is thoroughly clean, looks new, and has updated in-unit amenities. But while the cost of repainting a whole unit or replacing a carpet with wood flooring might not be much by itself, the total cost of a make-ready unit turn – plus the money lost from the vacancy – can cost upwards of $5,000 per unit per month.

This lost income adds up and compounds with each additional vacant unit. Let's say, for example, that you have a five-man maintenance team and that, and the end of last month, you had 20 units all move out at the same time. It's very likely that your maintenance team is not even going to be able to start touching that 20th unit until 30 days have already passed. And this lost time translates directly to lost rental income for your property manager. Your #1 goal with unit turns needs to be completing them as efficiently as possible, because time is literally lost money with vacant units.
