Apartment Unit Turns & Make-ready Services

Axios Construction provides apartment unit turn and make-ready services for multifamily properties throughout Houston and surrounding areas.

We work with property owners and management teams to improve vacant apartment units before they are returned to service for the next resident.

Unit turns may involve targeted repairs, refreshed finishes or broader interior improvements depending on the condition of the apartment and the standards established for the property.

Make-Ready Services for Multifamily Properties

Every vacant unit has different needs.

Some apartments may require basic improvements after normal occupancy, while others may need more extensive work because of age, wear, damage or outdated finishes.

Axios Construction helps property owners and managers address the work needed to prepare individual units for future occupancy.

Interior Unit Improvements

Apartment turns can include improvements throughout the interior of the unit.

Depending on the property and scope, work may include:

The exact scope is determined by the existing condition of the unit and the improvements planned by ownership or management.

Apartment Painting and Drywall

Walls and ceilings are among the most visible areas of an apartment during a unit turn.

Painting and drywall repairs can help address normal wear, previous damage and aging finishes before the unit is placed back into service.

These improvements may be completed individually or as part of a larger make-ready scope.

Flooring Improvements

Flooring can significantly affect the overall appearance and condition of a vacant apartment.

Depending on the existing materials and property renovation standards, flooring may require repair, improvement or replacement as part of the unit turn.

Consistent flooring selections can also help create a more uniform appearance across a multifamily property.

Kitchen and Bathroom Make-Ready Improvements

Kitchens and bathrooms often require additional attention during apartment renovations and unit turns.

Work may include cabinetry, countertops, paint, flooring, surfaces, doors, trim and other improvements based on the condition of the unit.

For properties undergoing repositioning or modernization, kitchen and bathroom upgrades may also be incorporated into a broader unit renovation program.

Unit Turns for Property Repositioning

Some multifamily owners use vacant-unit periods as an opportunity to improve more than basic wear and tear.

Apartment units within aging or repositioned properties may receive updated finishes and more extensive renovations designed to create a consistent standard throughout the community.

Axios Construction can provide unit renovation as part of a broader multifamily improvement plan that may also include common areas, amenities and exterior renovation.

Consistent Improvements Across Multiple Units

Multifamily properties often benefit from consistent materials, finishes and renovation standards across multiple apartment units.

Establishing a repeatable scope can help create a more consistent appearance throughout the property and simplify future renovation decisions.

Axios Construction can work within an established renovation scope for properties requiring improvements across multiple units.

Unit Turns as Part of a Larger Multifamily Renovation

Apartment interiors are only one part of the overall property.

Unit turn and make-ready work can be coordinated with other improvements throughout the community, including:

This allows owners and managers to address individual apartment units while also improving other areas of the property.
