We specialize in Class C garden-style apartment complexes — the 20-40 year old, 2-3 story walk-ups that make up the backbone of Houston's rental market. Our systems are built around properties with 50-300 units, occupied residents, tight budgets, and real timelines.

We survey the property after dark to map dark zones and dead fixtures.
Layout to hit code-minimum light levels in lots, walks, and stairs.
Identify utility LED rebates and roll them into the proposal.

Updated properties command premium rents. Most owners see 15–25% rent increase potential after quality renovation work.
Residents stay longer in well-maintained properties. Reducing one turnover saves $3,000–$8,000 in lost rent and make-ready costs.
Every $1 of NOI improvement drives $12–$17 of asset value at typical Houston cap rates. Renovation pays for itself at sale.
"Tell Projects completely transformed our 180-unit complex. Phase by phase, no resident displacement, and the work quality is unlike anything I've seen from other contractors in Houston."
"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."
LED retrofits typically cut exterior lighting energy use 50-65% and slash relamping/maintenance costs — many qualify for utility rebates.
