A vacated suite returned to market-ready condition.
Meiju works backward from the occupancy or listing date, prioritizes readiness-critical items, and brings repairs, cleaning, and finishing together under one handoff standard. The result is fewer last-minute calls and repeat visits.
Available across Ottawa and the surrounding service area, this service is planned around property access, occupant needs, seasonal timing, and the condition found on site.

Questions
Before you begin
Detailed answers are here when you need them. Open a question to learn more.
What is included in this service?
Work can include Selective Demolition, Interior Demolition, Floor Removal, Ceiling Removal, Wall Removal, and Debris Removal. The final proposal confirms the selected services, quantities, site conditions, and any exclusions for your property.
How long does the work usually take?
A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 3–7 business days. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, weather, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.
Can turnover work be completed before the next leasing tour?
We work backward from the tour or possession date and prioritize visible condition, safe access, lighting, repairs, and cleaning. Larger deficiencies may need to be disclosed or scheduled separately.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is built from the selected services using hourly, project-based, per-square-foot, and per-linear-foot rates, as applicable to the measured scope. Design-dependent or concealed work may require a custom quotation. The final proposal confirms quantities and approved choices.
Can a suite be returned to base-building condition?
Yes, when the lease or landlord turnover standard is provided. Required removals, repairs, service terminations, finishes, cleaning, and documentation are translated into a confirmed scope.
Who coordinates access with the outgoing tenant and landlord?
A single property contact should confirm possession, keys, loading rules, retained items, utility status, and approval authority. Meiju coordinates the work within that documented access plan.
