Every Vacant Day Costs Rent

Flooring is usually the biggest line on a make-ready, and the one most likely to hold up a move-in. We work around your vacancy clock: measure fast, put the price in writing, show up on the date we gave you, and leave the unit clean and rent-ready.

We turn every kind of rental — single-family homes, apartment communities, condos, HOA common areas and scattered-site portfolios across Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties. One unit or a whole community, same process.

Your units are installed by the same people turn after turn. James Lowe, our lead installer, has installed Gator floors for 20+ years.

Match the Floor to the Unit

A luxury rental and a budget make-ready need different floors. Pick the class closest to yours — or leave it to us and we'll recommend one when we measure.

Class A · Luxury

Premium turns

High-end units where tenants notice the floor.

  • Premium waterproof vinyl plank (thicker, more realistic wood look)
  • Or porcelain tile in kitchens and baths
  • Trim and the strips between rooms matched to the floor
Vinyl plank $13–17/sq ft · tile quoted per job
Install: About 1–2 weeks
Class B · Standard

The everyday turn

Stable, working households — the core of most portfolios.

  • Mid-grade waterproof vinyl plank throughout
  • One neutral wood-look color across the community
  • Carpet and pad in non-pet bedrooms if you prefer
Vinyl plank $10–13/sq ft
Install: About 1–2 weeks
Class C · Workforce

Built to survive turns

Frequent turnover, tight budgets, floors that take a beating.

  • Carpet and pad in bedrooms of non-pet units
  • Same product reordered every turn
Vinyl plank $8–10 · carpet $1.50–3.50/sq ft

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you turn a rental unit in Jacksonville?

We send a written quote within 24 hours of measuring. Carpet and value turns (Class C and D) are usually installed within 3–5 business days of approval. Premium vinyl plank or tile (Class A and B) runs about 1–2 weeks, mostly waiting on special-order material.

How much does flooring cost for a rental turn?

Installed prices: in-stock carpet and pad $1.50–3.50 per sq ft; waterproof vinyl plank $8–17 per sq ft depending on grade. Those prices include the material, installation, pad or underlayment and the strips between rooms. Tearing out old carpet is free when new carpet replaces it; old vinyl or plank is $0.75/sq ft and tile is $4/sq ft. Your written quote shows the whole number.

What flooring is best for a rental?

Waterproof vinyl plank for living areas, kitchens and baths — it mops clean, handles pets and Florida humidity, and lasts through several tenants. Carpet and pad still make sense in bedrooms of non-pet units and in budget turns because it costs far less per sq ft. We match the floor to the property class so you don't overbuild a budget unit or under-build a premium one.

Do I need to be at the unit during the install?

No. Most property managers give us a lockbox or gate code. Put access details in the notes when you send the turn, and we'll let you know when the unit is done.

Can you handle a whole community or portfolio?

Yes. Send one unit or a whole property in the same form. We schedule multi-unit turns back to back to keep total vacancy down, and we can keep one floor color across a community so every unit matches and repairs are easy.

What areas do you cover for rental turns?

Jacksonville and Northeast Florida across Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties — including Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, Atlantic Beach, San Marco, Mandarin, Southside, Baymeadows, Arlington, Westside, Northside, Orange Park, Fleming Island and Bartram Park.
