Turnover repairs for Memphis landlords
When a tenant moves out, the walls tell the story: anchor holes from shelves and TVs, doorknob punctures, scuffs along hallways, sometimes a fist-sized hole in a closet. Every day the unit sits empty costs money, so the repair needs to be fast and right the first time.
Our turnover process is built for that. A property manager or cleaner walks the unit, photographs every damaged spot and texts them to 727-242-8500. We send a single written quote covering everything, usually within the hour, and schedule the work so your painter can follow right behind. You approve the work at the walkthrough, and it carries a 1-year written workmanship warranty, which helps if a patch shows a flaw after the next tenant moves in.
Typical turnover list
Anchor and nail holes from shelves, mirrors and wall-mounted TVs.
Doorknob holes behind doors without stops.
Gouges and dents along hallways and stair walls.
Water damage under kitchen and bathroom sinks.
Cracked or peeling tape at ceiling corners.
Old patches that were never textured or primed.
Older block homes and their quirks
Many Memphis homes are single-story concrete block houses with drywall or plaster finishes inside. On exterior walls, the drywall is often attached to wood furring strips over the block. That gives a thin cavity, which matters when you hang anything heavy or run new wiring.
Cracks above doors and windows are typical, caused by normal movement at those openings. Our crack repair uses reinforcing tape and setting compound so the repair holds. Where walls have been patched repeatedly over the years, a skim coat can bring them back to one even surface before painting.
Hanging shelves or TVs on these furred-out exterior walls needs care, too. Fasteners should hit the furring strips or use anchors rated for the thin cavity; otherwise, the next tenant's TV mount pulls out and leaves a larger hole for us to fix.
What matters most here
Hole patching
Small and medium holes are the core of rental work. Our drywall hole and damage repair makes them disappear under paint.
Painting prep
A fresh coat for the next tenant shows every flaw. We prep surfaces first through painting preparation.
Leak repairs
Under-sink and bathroom leaks are common in older plumbing. We rebuild the wall once the plumber is done.
Ceiling updates
Older popcorn ceilings can be removed after an asbestos test if they predate the mid-1980s.
Patch, skim or replace?
For a landlord, the right repair is the one that lasts through the next tenancy without costing more than it should. Small holes get patched. Walls with many old repairs, uneven texture and visible seams often look better and cost less over time with a skim coat than with a dozen separate patches. Water-damaged or crumbling board gets replaced. We will tell you which applies to each wall and price the options in writing, so you can choose what makes sense for the unit.
A word about deposits and documentation
Many landlords photograph each room at move-in and move-out. Those same photos make an excellent basis for our quote, and our written price can help you document repair costs for your records. We do not advise on what can be charged to a tenant; that depends on your lease and Florida law. What we can do is give you a clear, itemized description of each repair, so the paperwork side of a turnover is as straightforward as the work itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you turn a Memphis rental around?
Most turnover patching can be finished in one or two visits, depending on how many repairs there are and whether any need drying time. Send photos when the tenant moves out and we will give you a written quote and a realistic schedule.
Can you coordinate with my painter?
Yes. We leave patches primed and ready for paint, and we can schedule our final visit so your painter can start right after. Tell us your timeline when you send photos and we will plan our visits to fit it.
Is it worth patching small holes rather than just painting over them?
Yes. Paint alone does not fill holes, and dents and anchor holes stand out even more after a fresh coat. Proper patching, texture and primer make the new paint look clean, and the repair lasts through the next tenancy.
My block home has cracks above every door. Is something wrong?
Usually not. Door and window openings concentrate normal movement in block homes. Re-taping and refinishing fixes the cosmetic crack. If cracks widen quickly or doors start sticking, have a structural professional check things first.
