Move-in ready, faster
Apartment Turnovers
Fast, thorough make-ready and maintenance services that get units rent-ready and minimize vacancy for property managers.
Every vacant day is lost revenue, but a rushed turnover that misses problems costs even more. Terracotta Construction handles fast, thorough apartment turnovers and ongoing property maintenance for managers and landlords across Montgomery County and the Greater Houston area. We coordinate the entire make-ready so the unit shows beautifully and rents quickly, and we do it on your schedule.
Faster Turns, Fewer Vacancy Days
Turnover is a race against vacancy, and the teams that win it are the ones with a repeatable process and the crew to execute it. We scope the unit the moment it is available, staff the job to your timeline, and keep the whole make-ready moving so the unit is ready to show as fast as quality allows.
One coordinated crew handles cleaning, repairs, paint, and fixtures, so you are not chasing separate vendors and watching days slip away between them. You get clear communication, predictable timelines, and a move-in-ready unit that attracts good tenants and commands strong rent.
Whether it is a single unit or a steady stream of turns across a portfolio, we build the process around your properties and your standards.
The Complete Make-Ready
A proper make-ready is more than a cleanout. We inspect and document the unit, handle every repair, patch and paint, deep clean top to bottom, update fixtures and hardware, change the locks, and do a final walk-through against your standards before we call it ready.
Working in the right order is what keeps turns fast and quality high: repairs and paint first, then a true deep clean so the unit is genuinely move-in ready, not just tidied up. The result is a unit that photographs well, shows well, and leases quickly.
Repairs, Paint, and Fixtures
Wear and tear between tenants adds up: scuffed walls, drywall dings, tired paint, dated or broken fixtures, sticky doors, and worn hardware. We handle all of it, with drywall repair and a clean neutral repaint that resets the whole unit.
Fresh paint is one of the highest-return steps in any turnover, and pairing it with crisp repairs and updated fixtures makes a unit feel new without a full renovation budget. We keep it efficient and consistent across every turn.
Ongoing Property Maintenance
Turns are just one part of keeping a rental portfolio healthy. We also provide recurring and on-call maintenance: repairs, common-area upkeep, seasonal tasks, and fast response to tenant work orders so small issues stay small and your properties stay in good standing.
Having one dependable crew on call means faster response, consistent quality, and one point of contact instead of a rolodex of vendors. That reliability protects your investment and keeps tenants satisfied.
Built for Property Managers and Landlords
We understand how property management actually works: tight turn windows, move-out and move-in dates that cannot slip, and the need for clear documentation and predictable pricing. We schedule around your calendar and communicate proactively so you are never left guessing.
From independent landlords with a few doors to managers running larger portfolios, we scale to your needs and hold every unit to the same standard.

Apartment Turnovers FAQs
How fast can you turn a unit? +
Turn time depends on the unit's condition and scope, but we build the schedule around your move-out and move-in dates and staff the job to keep vacancy days as low as possible. A light refresh moves quickly, while a full make-ready with repairs and repaint takes longer. We give you a realistic timeline up front and coordinate the work in the right order so nothing stalls the turn.
What does a make-ready include? +
A complete make-ready typically includes a condition inspection, all needed repairs, drywall patching, paint touch-up or a full repaint, deep cleaning of the entire unit and appliances, fixture and hardware updates, lock changes, and a final walk-through against your standards. We scope each unit individually and only do what it needs, so you are not paying for work that does not move the needle on leasing.
Do you handle multiple units and whole portfolios? +
Yes. We work with independent landlords on single turns and with property managers on portfolios that need a steady, reliable turnover partner. We can set up a repeatable process around your properties and standards so every unit gets the same quality and you get predictable timelines and pricing.
Do you offer ongoing property maintenance too? +
We do. Beyond turns, we provide recurring and on-call maintenance, repairs, common-area upkeep, seasonal tasks, and fast response to tenant work orders. Having one dependable crew on call means quicker response and consistent quality across your properties instead of juggling multiple vendors.
How do you bill turnover work? +
We provide a clear, written scope and estimate for each turn before we begin, and for managers with recurring needs we keep pricing consistent and transparent so you can budget reliably. You always know what you are paying for, with no surprise charges at the end.
