Ask three Boston contractors what a make-ready costs and you'll get three different numbers. Get the real 2026 price ranges — plus the checklist that keeps a vacant unit from sitting empty for an extra three weeks.
Real labor ranges by turn size — light, standard, full refresh — so you know before you call anyone.
The 3 things that actually cause delay (and none of them is the paint job).
The one-team approach that compresses a two-week turn into a few days.
| Light turn (clean, touch-up paint) | $300–$1,000 |
| Standard turn (paint, repairs, fixtures) | $1,000–$3,000 |
| Full refresh (paint, flooring, repairs) | $3,000+ |
Plus: the fillable per-unit checklist — labor, materials, and the schedule that gets a unit back on the market fast.
