Rental Turnovers

Turnover Flooring

Flooring is the most expensive decision in a turnover and the one most often made wrong in both directions — replacing a whole unit over four damaged planks, or patching a floor that six months later has to come out anyway. We assess, document, and give you a repair-or-replace call you can put in front of an owner.

Scope

What turnover flooring includes

Room-by-room condition assessment with photos, keyed to the move-in inspection where you have one
Plank-level replacement in click-lock LVP and laminate without disturbing the surrounding field
Glue-down LVT tile swaps and vinyl sheet patching at seams and doorways
Full-room or full-unit LVP and laminate installation with transitions and quarter round
Carpet and pad replacement, room-level or unit-wide, including tack strip and seam work
Carpet re-stretching and seam repair where the carpet itself is still serviceable
Subfloor inspection at toilets, dishwashers, water heaters and exterior doors, with repair before install
Pet-odor treatment or subfloor sealing where urine has passed through the pad
Transition strips, thresholds, baseboard and shoe reinstalled, old material hauled away

Our approach

Process note: the repair-or-replace call

Our rule of thumb: if the damage is confined to a definable area and matching material exists, repair — a plank swap costs a fraction of a room. Replace when the damage crosses rooms, when the product is discontinued and no match exists, when water has reached the subfloor, or when a repair would leave a visible mismatch in the main sight line of a living room. We give you both numbers and the photos, so whoever signs off can see why.

Why STRYDE

Why it matters in a turnover

Speed: material lead time is the real risk

Install is a day or two; sourcing is what stalls a unit for a week. Working from a standing product spec per property means we order the moment the scope is approved — or pull from attic stock and finish the same day.

Durability: spec for the next three tenants

A 20-mil wear layer LVP costs modestly more than a 6-mil and survives tenancies that shred the thin stuff. In a rental, the floor that doesn't need replacing next turnover is always the cheaper floor.

Consistency: one product per property

Standardizing on a single LVP color and a single carpet style across a portfolio makes every future repair a partial instead of a full room, keeps attic stock useful, and means units show identically.

Questions

FAQs about this service

When is carpet cleanable versus replaceable?

Cleaning wins when the damage is surface soil and traffic lanes on carpet under about five years old with intact backing. Replace when you find pet urine that's reached the pad — it will return through any cleaning — burns, bleach spots, delaminated backing, or seams that have opened. The practical tell is smell after drying: if odor comes back once the carpet is dry, the pad is the source and cleaning was money spent twice.

Do you keep attic stock so repairs match later?

We recommend it and we'll manage it for you. Ordering an extra box or two per property at first install means a damaged plank three years later gets swapped for an exact match instead of a close guess — dye lots and product lines change constantly. We label and note what's held for each property so the next repair is a same-day fix.

Dependable turnaround. One point of contact.
