What eviction turnover renovations are

Turnover renovations are the remodel line items that got discovered after the setout and were approved as part of turning the unit — not a second project six weeks later.

Eviction turnover renovations are repairs and upgrades approved as part of turning a recovered unit: the damage you only see after the belongings are out. They need a written scope and a bid. They are not included in a setout.

Key facts

  • Lifecycle stage: Renovation.
  • EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta). We do not operate field crews in every state.
  • Exact claims only: 10,000+ completed evictions; 72-hour service of tenant after filing on average (Georgia service).
  • Not a law firm. Not legal advice. No date guarantees. No price list on this page.

What this service is

The unit looked fine from the doorway on eviction day. After trash-out, the floor and the wet wall are the real job. Turnover renovation is how that work stays on one project instead of leaking through three vendors.

Not a national renovation brand. Not a price list. Georgia conversations possible. Other states routed. Not a law firm, not a contractor in every county.

When this step is needed

You need turnover renovations when trash-out reveals damage you could not see from the doorway on eviction day — and you want it on one project, not three vendors.

You do not need this label for ordinary paint. That is make-ready.

How the process usually works

  1. Walk after cleanout with photos.
  2. Split renovation from make-ready on the bid.
  3. Get written approval before trades start.
  4. Watch permit and environmental stops (lead, mold).
  5. Do one completion walk for the whole turn.

Courts and executing offices set their own calendars. These are operational steps, not a guaranteed timeline.

What this step usually covers

  • Post-cleanout walk with photos
  • Renovation line items split from make-ready
  • Written approval before trades start
  • One completion walk

These are the jobs the step exists to do. They are not a nationwide menu EvictIQ staffs in every county.

What you must verify locally

  • Permit triggers
  • Insurance vs capex
  • Lead, mold, or other specialty stops

We do not publish a stale per-state timetable. Statutes change.

What this does not include

  • Legal advice, courtroom representation, or an attorney-client relationship
  • A guaranteed hearing date, writ date, or setout date — courts and executing offices set their own calendars
  • Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removal of belongings outside a court-issued writ
  • A published price. Scope and price are written after intake, before work starts
State law controls. Eviction law is state law, and notice periods, forms, courts and timelines differ in every state — sometimes county to county within a state. This page explains how the process generally works. It is not legal advice and it is not a substitute for your state's actual rules.

Common questions

Can I put renovation on the tenant’s ledger?

Damage claims are a legal and lease question. Do not take that from a marketing page. Document condition and ask counsel or your accountant.

Do you renovate after evictions in every state?

No nationwide renovation crews.

We'll tell you so rather than take the lead. What to look for locally: a provider who knows which office executes writs in your county, who gives you cycle-time variance rather than an average, and who refuses to guarantee a completion date.
