Why Houston Property Managers Choose Refinishing Over Replacement
Managing a rental portfolio in Houston means constant unit turnover. Replacing a bathtub every time one gets stained or chipped would destroy your renovation budget. Professional refinishing solves this problem:
| Factor | Refinishing | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per unit | $350–$550 | $2,000–$4,500 |
| Turnaround | 1 day | 5–10 days |
| Vacate requirement | Bathroom only, 24 hrs | Entire unit, 1 week+ |
| Lost rent (30-day month) | ~1 day (~$65 at $2,000/mo) | ~7 days (~$467 at $2,000/mo) |
For a 50-unit complex doing 20 turnovers per year, refinishing vs replacement saves $43,000–$80,000 per year in direct costs alone — plus the avoided lost rent.
