Vacant-unit repaint
Clean access can shorten painting production, but vacancy alone does not remove wall repair, primer, ceiling or trim work. We identify those items up front and write them into the unit-specific scope.

Get the unit ready without chasing the painter.
Landlords and property managers need a real scope and a credible completion window, not a vague “we can paint it” text. Vermont Interior Painting reviews damage, surfaces, access, coating durability and tenant timing before the schedule is committed.

Patch-and-paint turnover
Move-out damage, fastener holes, stains, failed caulk and texture mismatches can turn a simple repaint into a repair scope. The estimate separates ordinary prep from larger patching and replacement work.
Repeat-property program
For multiple units or recurring turnovers, we can use a repeatable intake, room and coating profile, photo packet and closeout checklist. Each unit still gets an actual condition review and written price.
Send one packet, then get one next step.
Include the unit location, vacant/occupied status, key and access instructions, last tenant move-out date, next occupancy date, rooms and surfaces, visible repairs, color standard and photos. If the project is needed in three days or less, V.I.P. flags it as urgent for owner review; that is a review priority, not an unverified promise of crew availability.
The web estimator produces a planning range and scope. A site or photo review confirms what must be patched, spot primed, coated and cleaned before the written quote and completion window are agreed.
Start a Turnover ScopeThe deadline is only one cost driver.
Wall area, ceiling and trim coverage, number of coats, tenant damage, staining, furniture or stored items, access hours, parking, drying time and color change all matter. So does surface preparation: cutting prep to meet a low bid often raises callback risk. The range you see online is planning guidance, not a final offer. The accepted written quote uses a 50% deposit that covers recorded direct project costs.

Pre-1978 surface disturbance needs screening.
When the building predates 1978, sanding, scraping, patching and window or door work may fall under Vermont RRPM rules. We capture age and planned disturbance before scheduling or partner assignment. A “quick turnover” is not a reason to skip applicable lead-safe requirements.
For property managers: V.I.P. can keep a structured record of the scope, planning range, accepted quote, schedule, deposit and painter outcome. Those records support repeatable quality and pricing across units without treating every property as identical.
