General/Common Areas
Turning individual units is only part of the job. You also want to repair and update common areas in and around the building, including stairwells, hallways, lobbies, and more.
Tips:
• Switch to energy-efficient lighting—schedule a free lighting audit to see how your facility can save energy and reduce utility costs
• Stock up on cleaning products that are safe to use on tile and grout, as well as on carpet, upholstery, and mattresses
• Repair any paint that is blistering or bubbling by scraping and sanding it smooth and using a primer before repainting
