MultifamilyRenovations
Full unit turns for large communities. Phased execution on occupied properties. Minimal downtime, maximum NOI.
Veteran-owned. 12,000+ units completed. One contractor — interior, exterior, and amenities — so you never juggle multiple vendors.
Renovation Scopes
Six Ways We Serve Multifamily Owners
Whether you need consistent unit turns across 500 doors, a resort-style amenity overhaul, a full-property repositioning, renovation of an occupied community, a deferred-maintenance capital plan, or stabilization of an asset in receivership — we deliver under one contract with one project manager.
Unit Turns
Rapid, standardized interior renovations
Full unit turns at scale — flooring, paint, kitchens, baths, electrical, and plumbing — executed on a fixed scope and predictable timeline. We match crew size to your vacancy velocity so every unit is rent-ready fast, with zero resident displacement.
- 4–6 week average cycle per unit, by scope
- Rotating phased schedule — no relocations
- LVP flooring, shaker cabinets, quartz counters
- HVAC, electrical & plumbing included
- Standardized scopes for portfolio consistency
Common-Area & Amenity Renovations
Clubhouses, pools, fitness centers & exteriors
Transform dated amenity spaces into leasing differentiators. We renovate clubhouses, fitness centers, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, dog parks, and leasing offices — plus full exterior envelope work including siding, roofing, balconies, and parking lots.
- Clubhouse & leasing office remodels
- Pool deck resurfacing & outdoor living
- Fitness center equipment & flooring
- Siding, roofing & exterior paint packages
- Phased scheduling — amenities stay open
Value-Add / Repositioning
Full-property overhauls that lift rents
Strategic renovation programs designed to reposition aging assets and drive rent premiums. We combine interior, exterior, and amenity scopes into a single contract — with ROI modeling, lender-ready documentation, and REAC-compliant execution for institutional portfolios.
- NOI-focused scope development
- Full interior + exterior + amenity packages
- Lender & REAC documentation included
- Bulk pricing across your portfolio
- Weekly progress dashboards for asset managers
Receivership & Distressed
Stabilizing assets you did not underwrite
Renovation and stabilization for properties in receivership, special servicing, foreclosure or REO. Written condition assessments structured for court and servicer reporting, scope triaged life-safety first, and phased execution around residents who are still in place.
- Rapid written property condition assessment
- Scope split into independently fundable tiers
- Life-safety and code violations cleared first
- Per-line-item documentation for court reporting
- Occupied-property phasing, no resident displacement
Occupied Renovations
Renovating with residents at home
Interior and exterior renovation of occupied communities, phased building by building. Set work hours, scheduled utility shutoffs, clear egress and one field contact, so the property keeps leasing and keeps its residents while the work gets done.
- Phase plan by building and stack
- Resident notices through property management
- Scheduled shutoffs, daily cleanup
- Lead-safe practices on pre-1978 buildings
- Weekly progress by building
Deferred Maintenance & Capital Improvements
Roofs, envelope, stairs, paving & MEP
Deferred maintenance turned into a tiered capital plan: life safety and water intrusion first, engineer-designed breezeway, stair and balcony repairs, roofing, siding, windows, paving and major systems, documented line by line for lenders and investors.
- Condition walk or PCA review
- Scope in independently fundable tiers
- Engineer-stamped structural repairs
- Permits under each city's adopted codes
- Occupied phasing, building by building

Multifamily Renovation Questions Answered
Common questions from property owners and managers about resident disruption, timelines, metal building options, renovation challenges, permitting, and how we manage phased renovation projects.
Our standard approach is phased rotation renovation. Interior renovation runs through vacated units as they turn over and, when the program calls for it, inside occupied units with residents at home. Either way, residents are never asked to temporarily relocate. For exterior and amenity scopes, we schedule work in segments and provide advance notice so residents can plan around it. We also assign a dedicated community liaison on every project to handle resident communication. Exterior, envelope, capital and building-system work runs around residents who stay in place; see our occupied renovations and deferred maintenance and capital improvements services.
Our Process
How We Execute Multifamily Renovation Programs
From initial property assessment through final unit turnover, our phased approach protects occupancy, maintains resident satisfaction, and delivers measurable ROI.
Property Assessment & Scope Development
We walk every building, review your vacancy history, analyze comparable rents, and develop a phased renovation scope calibrated to your NOI goals and budget.
Permits & Compliance Review
We review all required permits for interior, exterior, and amenity work, coordinate with your property management team on resident notification requirements, and confirm HUD/REAC compliance if applicable.
Phased Schedule Development
Your renovation schedule is built around your vacancy rate and leasing cycle. We never displace residents — we rotate through naturally vacating units and schedule exterior work in manageable segments.
Unit Renovation Execution
Crews work in vacated units, and in occupied units with residents at home, under strict noise and work-hour protocols. Each unit moves through flooring, paint, kitchen, bath, electrical, and final punch in a standardized workflow.
Exterior & Amenity Construction
Siding, roofing, balcony, parking lot, pool, fitness center, and clubhouse work runs in parallel with interior renovation — scheduled to minimize resident inconvenience.
Quality Control & Closeout
Every unit receives a pre-lease walkthrough. Closeout packages include permits, as-built documentation, product warranties, and inspection reports delivered to your asset management team.

Finished Work
See the Finish Level, Not a Rendering
A walkthrough of a completed townhome renovation in Uptown Dallas, near SMU. Waterfall quartz counters, a herringbone tile backsplash, brushed brass fixtures, an undermount sink, LVP flooring throughout, and a built-out closet system.
Townhome units are a standard part of multifamily portfolios, and this is the same interior scope a unit turn or a value-add repositioning involves — filmed on the day it finished, not staged for a brochure. If you are deciding what finish level your renovation budget actually buys, real completed work answers that better than a rendering ever will.

Licensing, Insurance & Qualifications
B2B buyers evaluating a commercial general contractor need to verify credentials before sending an RFP. Here's everything procurement teams typically ask for — transparent and current.
State Licensing
- Texas: Texas issues no state general contractor license. We register and permit through each local authority we build under — Dallas, Richardson, Plano, Fort Worth and Houston among them — and register qualifying projects with TDLR. Projects subject to the Texas Architectural Barriers Act with an estimated construction cost of $50,000 or more must be registered with TDLR, reviewed by a Registered Accessibility Specialist, and inspected within one year of completion.
- Oklahoma: Oklahoma issues no state general contractor license. We hold the City of Oklahoma City Building Residential Contractor license (CR-37328-L).
- Arkansas: Arkansas Residential Builder License No. 0465660226, which covers single-family residential work; Arkansas licenses commercial contracting separately. Contact us for scope-specific licensing verification.
- Louisiana: Louisiana Commercial General Contractor License No. CL.13232, issued by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors to UTS, LLC in the Building Construction classification. It covers commercial construction in Louisiana.
- Multi-State Capability: Our Division President passed the NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors. Twenty contractor licensing agencies across 17 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands accept that result in place of their own trade exam, which shortens the path to licensure when a project takes us beyond Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. It is not a license in those states on its own — we license per project as each jurisdiction requires, and if a client needs us licensed somewhere we are not, we will pursue it for that project.
Insurance
- Fully Insured: Certificates of insurance provided to clients on request, typically within 24 hours, with additional-insured endorsements where the contract requires them.
Bonding Capacity
- Single Project Bonding: Up to $10,000,000 per project — bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds available.
- Aggregate Bonding: $25,000,000+ aggregate program — supports concurrent projects across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
- Surety Partner: Bonding through a nationally recognized A-rated surety. Prequalification typically completed within 48 hours for new project opportunities.

- OSHA 30-Hour: All field supervisors hold active OSHA 30-Hour Construction Outreach trainings. Site workers hold OSHA 10-Hour minimum.
