Tips for Painting a Rental Property

A fresh paint job is one of the most important ways to keep your rental property looking fresh and maintained for new tenants. CertaPro Painters of of Myrtle Beach, SC can tackle any size project for rental properties Check out these tips below for painting rental properties and know when it’s time to repaint!

Hire a Professional Painting Company

Hiring professionals is the best ways to assure a job done well. You don’t want your new tenants moving in to streaky walls and paint drips. Getting the property ready for a new lease is stressful enough, so let the experts help you out. This will guarantee the best paint job and most efficient process.

Use Neutral Colors

A neutral color palette is seen as a blank canvas to new tenants. No matter their preference, they can style it in a way that feels like home. This will help the property rent quicker if the tenants can envision themselves living there.

Select Durable Paints and Finishes

While it may be slightly more expensive up front to pay for durable paints and finishes, this is an easy way to protect your walls. It’s best if you don’t have to paint every time a tenant moves out. By selecting durable paints, you may be able to outlast several rounds of tenants without having to repaint. In addition, there are specific finishes you can use for additional durability. Your CertaPro team will be able to go over all the options with you at your consultation.

Cover Bold Colors

Maybe the previous tenants decided to paint a bright accent wall. Or maybe you have previously occupied property that was painted dark. If new tenants are moving in, you need to cover up any bold colors. You want the color scheme to be a clean slate for your property’s new occupants. Covering bold colors will take time, so plan ahead.

Give Yourself Enough Time For The Job

A rushed job won’t be completed to its fullest potential. That’s why it is important to give yourself time to repaint and prepare for the new tenants. You’ll want to make sure there is time for paint drying and curing before they move in. You can eliminate this time crunch by hiring a professional painting team. Professionals are the most efficient option to get your property ready for the next tenants.

If it’s your first rental or maybe you own several properties, it’s important to maintain your paint and the interior of your home. This will ensure a greater return on your investment and happy tenants.
