Turnover-Ready Flooring Installation That Holds Up to Real Life

Flooring is one of the fastest ways to upgrade a unit — but it's also one of the easiest places to lose time and money if prep gets skipped. Here's how PMR Projects delivers clean installs that last.

Flooring is one of the fastest ways to upgrade a unit—but it's also one of the easiest places to lose time and money if prep gets skipped. At PMR Projects, we approach flooring installs like a turnover system: protect adjacent surfaces, remove and dispose of existing materials, correct problem areas in the subfloor, and install with clean transitions so the finish looks intentional (not rushed).

For property managers, the goal is simple: a floor that looks great on move-in day and still performs after tenants, pets, rolling furniture, and routine cleaning. That's why we pay attention to the details that prevent callbacks—leveling where needed, proper underlayment, tight seams, and baseboards that actually sit flush.

If you're planning multiple unit turns, we can help standardize selections and scopes so pricing and scheduling stay predictable across the portfolio.

Before: The Starting Point

Worn, soiled carpet throughout — living room, bedrooms, and common areas. This is what a typical turnover unit looks like before PMR Projects gets to work.

Before
Bedroom before flooring installation — worn dark carpet with access panel, Long Beach rental unit
Before
Bedroom before flooring installation — worn dark carpet with mirrored closet doors, Long Beach rental unit
Before
Living room before flooring installation — worn dark carpet with tile kitchen area, Long Beach rental unit

Actual unit before flooring removal — worn carpet throughout living room and bedrooms

After: Clean LVP Install with New Baseboards & Transitions

After
LVP flooring installed at unit entry — clean finish with new baseboards by PMR Projects
After
LVP flooring installed in bedroom with mirrored closet doors — clean transitions by PMR Projects
After
LVP flooring installed in living area with clean baseboard transitions by PMR Projects

Actual PMR Projects flooring installation — LVP with new baseboards and clean transitions

What Changed

Living Room & Bedrooms

Worn, soiled carpet removed throughout → waterproof LVP installed with new baseboards and clean transitions in every room.

Subfloor & Prep

Full subfloor inspection, leveling where needed, and proper underlayment — the foundation that makes the install last.

What's Included in a Turnover-Ready Flooring Install

  • Surface protection for adjacent areas during removal and install
  • Removal and disposal of existing flooring materials
  • Subfloor inspection, leveling, and correction where needed
  • Proper underlayment for sound and moisture protection
  • LVP installation with tight seams and consistent layout
  • New baseboards installed flush — no gaps, no wobble
  • Clean transitions at doorways and room-to-room thresholds
  • Full jobsite cleanup and debris removal
  • 1-year workmanship warranty on rental properties

Planning Multiple Unit Turns?

We help property managers standardize flooring selections and scopes across their portfolio. That means:

Consistent pricing

Same scope = same price across units

Predictable scheduling

We know the timeline before we start

Fewer callbacks

Standardized prep and install process

Bulk material sourcing

Better pricing on larger orders

Pro tip: If you're comparing flooring bids, ask whether subfloor prep, transitions, baseboards, and cleanup are included. Those details are where timelines and quality are won or lost. A low bid that skips prep is a callback waiting to happen.
