Move-Out Assessments

Move-Out Assessments and Scoping

A photographed walkthrough that settles tenant damage versus wear and tear, and produces the scope the turn is built from.

The assessment is what makes the rest of the turn predictable

Most turn overruns are not caused by the work. They are caused by scope discovered on day six that nobody priced on day one. A proper move-out assessment moves that discovery to the front, where it is still cheap.

Bedrock walks the unit before anything is scheduled and produces two things: a photographed record of condition, and a written scope with a price and a completion date attached.

Tenant damage versus normal wear and tear

This is the line every deposit dispute turns on, and it is very hard to argue after the fact from memory. The assessment documents it while the evidence is still in the unit.

What gets photographed and noted:

  • Wall and drywall condition, separating scuffs and nail holes from holes, water damage and impact damage
  • Flooring, including burns, staining, gouges and pet damage against expected wear
  • Doors, trim and hardware, including sticking and misaligned doors
  • Plumbing fixtures and any leaks, drainage problems or sewer issues
  • HVAC condition, including systems not cooling or not blowing air
  • Appliance condition and function, including refrigerator, range and garbage disposal
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which are code items and a common inspection failure
  • Exterior and yard condition, including overgrowth that may already be a violation

What you receive

A scope you can price against, a set of time stamped photographs, and a clear split between what is chargeable to the departing tenant and what is the owner’s cost of doing business. That is the document you want in hand before a deposit conversation, not after it.

Then the work, if you want it

If the scope is approved, the same crew executes it as an SFR turn, so nothing is lost in a handoff between the company that inspected and the company that repairs. If you would rather take the scope elsewhere, that is fine too. The assessment stands on its own.
