TapeAndFloat.com for property managersDrywall repairs and unit turns for property managers
TapeAndFloat for property managers is a set of free guides and tools for scoping, bidding and documenting drywall repairs on unit turns and maintenance. In Texas, a landlord must refund a deposit or send an itemized list of deductions within 30 days after the tenant surrenders the unit (Property Code § 92.103), so drywall damage has to be documented fast.
Drywall is one of the most common items on a turn punch list: anchor holes, door-knob punctures, water stains, cracked corners. The work is simple; the paperwork around it (scope, bids, photos, invoices, deposit deductions) is where time and money leak.
Guides for property managers
- Drywall repair scope basics for unit turns: how to describe the work so bids are comparable.
- How to get and compare drywall bids: what every bid should include and red flags.
- Drywall work order template: copy-paste fields for your vendor work orders.
- Documenting drywall damage for deposits and insurance: photos, notes and the Texas deposit timeline.
