What Do You Do With The Garage When Rehabbing?

I am currently rehabbing a house that has a garage. The garage has drywall that was painted about 13 years ago. My question is, do you fill in the nail holes, chips, cracks, and then paint, or do you just give the garage a good cleaning? My contractor says he never paints the garage when doing rehabs. Also, do most rehabbers pressure wash the concrete or steam clean it? I appreciate all replys!!!

It takes an hour to degrease and pressure wash a garage floor. Just gives a better 1st impression. As for the drywall, if it doesnt cost a lot....why not clean it up and quickly paint it. Just hit it with primer as your final paint finish. It is simple and cheap but yields big visual returns.
