Given they are going to damage the walls while moving anyway it eliminates their need to touch up the halls and I can usually schedule to have one painter knock out multiple units in a day but even if its a one off sale, it comes across as good service for a small amount of money.In a storage area within the house or garage I will leave an unopened box of each tile, and flooring used in the house along with unopened 1 gallon buckets of the wall and semi gloss paints and one of each door hardware (kitchen and interior doorway.
