Skillfully match existing wall textures (e.g., orange peel, knockdown, smooth) to ensure seamless repairs.
Prepare surfaces for painting (priming, caulking, minor repairs) and apply paint to walls, ceilings, and trim as part of unit turns or service requests.
Assist in the unit turn process by completing all necessary wall repairs and painting within a tight timeline to minimize vacancy days.
Efficiently manage assigned work orders through property management software, ensuring all tasks are documented, completed on time, and signed off appropriately.
