Apartment Painting in Los Angeles
Paint is the single highest-impact line item in any unit turn — it's most of what a prospective tenant sees in photos and showings. We paint vacant rental units every week across Los Angeles: full repaints, one-coat refreshes, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinet repaints, with the drywall prep that older LA buildings almost always need.
Because we paint as part of turnovers, our crews work fast without wrecking the schedule around them: repairs happen before paint, reglazing overspray gets masked, and cleaning follows after. If you've ever had a painter leave roller marks on a freshly cleaned counter, you know why sequencing matters.

How it works
Scope by unit size
Quotes are built per unit type — studio, 1BR, 2BR — with line items for ceilings, trim, and repairs, so you can see exactly what you're approving.
Prep and paint
Patching and texture first, then a clean spray-and-roll finish in standard rental colors or your building's spec.
Walk and touch up
A final walk catches misses and touch-ups before the cleaning crew comes through — the unit photographs ready.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to paint an apartment in Los Angeles?
Full repaints typically run from around $1,200 for a studio to $2,500–$3,500 for a two-bedroom, depending on ceiling height, repairs, and whether trim and doors are included. Refresher coats cost significantly less.
How fast can you paint a vacant unit?
Most one-bedroom units are painted in 1–2 days including prep. We routinely paint as part of multi-day turnovers, so the schedule is built around getting the unit listable fast.
Do you match the existing paint in my building?
Yes — we keep color specs on file for buildings we service repeatedly, so every turn in that building comes out consistent without re-specifying.
