When a tenant moves out of your rental property in the Metro Atlanta Area, a thorough inspection is essential to protect your investment and maintain your rental’s value. At Georgia Home Finishes LLC, we help landlords identify and repair the most common issues that can hurt your bottom line.
Walls: Damage and Wear
Check for holes, cracks, and dents in drywall. Small nail holes can be patched with spackle, but larger holes or cracks may require professional repair.
Look for scuffs, stains, or faded paint. A fresh coat of neutral paint can make your property look clean and inviting.
Inspect for signs of moisture damage or mold, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
Trim: Gaps, Separation, and Damage
Examine baseboards, crown molding, and door/window casings for gaps, separation, or missing pieces. Georgia’s climate can cause trim to shift or pull away from walls.
Check for chipped paint, scratches, or water damage. Caulk and touch up paint as needed for a seamless appearance.
Flooring: Condition and Cleanliness
Inspect carpets for stains, odors, or excessive wear. Consider professional cleaning or replacement if needed.
Check hardwood or laminate floors for scratches, gouges, or water damage. Refinish or repair as necessary to maintain value.
Look for loose or cracked tiles in kitchens and bathrooms.
Addressing these issues promptly helps you attract quality tenants, command higher rents, and avoid costly repairs down the road.
