Apartment Turnover

Make-Ready, End to End

The Apartment Turnover, Owned End to End.

Most vendors do one trade and hand the unit to the next. We do all of them — which means nothing waits, nothing is disputed, and the unit comes back when we said it would.

Inspection, punch list, carpentry, drywall, paint, carpet, final clean and independent QA are all performed by a Maximus division, against a single unit record, on a single schedule. No second vendor enters the building — which is exactly why the schedule holds.

The Arithmetic

The Math Nobody Shows You

A Class A unit in the Boston core carries roughly $100 a day in rent. In a fragmented vendor model, the average turn runs about thirteen days. Ours targets five.

That is eight days of rent recovered on every single turn. On a 400-unit community with normal turnover, the arithmetic runs to six figures a year — before you count your own staff's time, the disputes you didn't have to referee, and the day-one service tickets the incoming resident never filed.

This is why we don't compete on hourly rate. We compete on the days we give back.

How We Do It

Nine Steps. One Vendor. No Handoffs.

Every step below is performed by a Maximus division, in this order, without exception.

01 — Inspection

Within 24 hours of vacancy, a supervisor walks the unit. Every deficiency is photographed and coded by trade. The output is a scoped work order, not a guess.

02 — Punch List

The walk becomes a line-item digital estimate against your agreed rate schedule. You approve it in writing before anything starts. No verbal scoping. No surprise change orders.

03 — Maintenance

Carpentry, cabinets, hardware, doors, trim, shelving, blinds. Repairs come first, because repairing after painting is guaranteed rework.

04 — Drywall

Holes, corners, ceilings, texture, surface preparation. The bridge between repair and finish — and the step most vendors expect somebody else to own.

05 — Painting

Interior repaint. On pre-1978 buildings, a Massachusetts lead-safe certified supervisor is on site for the duration of regulated work.

06 — Carpet

Carpet, hard floor, tile and grout, odor, surface restoration. After paint, never before — and restored rather than replaced wherever the fibre allows.

07 — Cleaning

Final presentation clean. The last team to touch the unit before your leasing agent does.

08 — QA Inspection

An independent punch walk, performed by someone who did not do the work. Any failed item generates a rework order and the unit does not close.

09 — Move-In Ready

You receive a completion report with the full photographic record — before the invoice. Then you get one invoice.

  • You Stop Refereeing Who Damaged the CabinetBefore, during and after photos are filed against the unit record. Attribution becomes a document, not an argument.
  • You Stop Processing Six Invoices for One UnitOne invoice, referencing an estimate you already approved in writing.
  • You Stop Guessing Whether the Unit Is ReadyAn independent inspector signs it off, and the completion report reaches you before the invoice does.
