August 2025

A Gulfport landlord needed a dated one-bedroom unit turned around between tenants. The galley kitchen had old yellow tile walls, worn flooring and a damaged wall section, and the living room needed new floors and fresh paint.

Over two weeks we hung and finished new drywall, laid large-format porcelain tile with a leveling system, installed a new granite-look counter section and stainless sink, added a tile backsplash and painted the whole unit.

Project goals

The owner wanted durable, easy-to-clean finishes that would survive several tenancies.

porcelain floor tile

Large-format tile laid with a leveling system for flat, tight joints.

Project challenges

The unit had to be ready for a new tenant on a fixed date, and the galley layout left little room to work and stage materials.

  • fixed move-in deadline
  • tight galley layout for tile work
  • leveling an uneven slab before tiling
  • coordinating counter and sink install
Finished result: Galley Kitchen and Apartment Refresh in Gulfport

The unit was finished on schedule and rented within a week of listing. Planning something similar? Read more about our Floor Repair service or request a free estimate.
