Vacancy costs roughly $45 per day for the average Houston unit. Our turnkey turnover process gets apartments cleaned, repaired, and lease-ready in 48–72 hours.
We coordinate every trade required between move-out and move-in. One point of contact, one schedule, one invoice — and units delivered ready to show.
We inspect units 30 days before lease end, order materials, and schedule crews so work starts the day keys are returned.
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and closets — sprayed or rolled to spec and dry before flooring crews arrive.
Carpet, LVP, tile, and subfloor prep coordinated with painting to prevent delays and finish conflicts.
Bathtub reglazing, countertop refinishing, and cabinet refacing deliver like-new appearance at a fraction of replacement cost.
Faucets, lighting, outlets, switches, door stops, cabinet pulls, and towel bars upgraded to a consistent community standard.
Professional cleaning including appliances, windows, vents, and closets so the unit is immediately show-ready.
A signed completion checklist with before/after photos documents every turn and protects management at deposit disputes.
Per-unit cost tracking and average turn-time metrics help optimize your make-ready budget quarter after quarter.
High-turnover communities cannot afford slow or inconsistent make-readies. We become an extension of your maintenance team, turning units on your calendar and your standard.

"We had three other bids. Tell Projects wasn't the cheapest, but they were the only ones who gave us a real phasing plan and stood behind it. Project finished on time and on budget."
"Our rents went up 22% after the renovation. That's real NOI that I'll carry into the next deal. Tell Projects is the reason we can refinance at a much better valuation."
