One-day color refreshes for fast turnover and maximum rent value.

When tenants move out, landlords need walls repainted quickly—often within 24–48 hours—to prepare for listing or move-in.

Ryan Painting provides tenant-turn repaints across Boston, with fast scheduling, quick-dry materials, and reliable crews. Common service areas include Allston, Brighton, and Mission Hill.

  • Walk-through to identify problem areas

  • Quick patch and sanding

  • One or two coats of low-odor, quick-dry paint

  • Optional color change or ceiling refresh

What's Included - Tenant Turn

Every tenant-turn repaint starts with a walk-through assessment. We photograph existing damage, note any wall repairs needed, and confirm paint colors with the landlord or property manager before starting.

1. Standard scope includes:

  • Spackling and sanding nail holes, scuff marks, and minor dings

  • One coat of primer on patched areas and stains

  • Two coats of durable, low-odor latex paint (eggshell or satin finish for easy cleaning)

  • Baseboard and trim touch-up

  • Broom-clean unit at completion


2. Optional add-ons:

  • Full ceiling repaint (adds 2-4 hours per room)

  • Color changes (requires two full coats plus primer)

  • Baseboard and door enamel refresh

  • Minor drywall patching for larger holes

We stock neutral colors (whites, warm grays) that photograph well for listings and appeal to the broadest range of tenants. Custom colors are available with 24 hours' notice.


Our painters take pride in their work, and it shows in the results we deliver on every job.

Typical Cost

Most tenant-turn repaints run $1,200–$3,000 depending on unit size and condition.

Case Study

A landlord in Allston had a 2-bed apartment with scuffed walls and stained ceilings. We completed a full repaint in under 48 hours, helping them list it that same weekend.

FAQs

Can you repaint between Friday and Sunday?

 Yes - our schedule includes weekend turnover jobs.

 Can you match my existing paint?

 We’ll match or provide a neutral default color if needed.

How quickly can you turn around a multi-unit building?

We can run crews in parallel across units. A typical 3-unit building takes 3-5 days depending on scope. We coordinate with your leasing schedule so each unit is ready for showing on time.
