Give skim coat with all-purpose joint compound.

I've had floors where the scratches weren't deep, so it was pretty easy to reapply the top coating and clean it up.https://zothexflooring.com/3-e...

It should be stated in the proposal that all walls and trim will be primed 1x coat, and painted 2x coats.

Value was going to be added to the property by redoing the kitchen and bath, as well as a fresh coat of paint throughout.

Kitchen would be a full remodel, new appliances, cabinets, counters, fixtures, luxury laminate flooring, and a new coat of paint and backsplash, etc.

In most cases, a new coat of paint - or at the very least, repainting areas that are presently chipping, is sufficient.

In terms of rehabbing the property, the workflow can range from throwing a coat of paint on a wall or two, to an entire gut of the mechanicals, windows, siding, and flooring.
