Transformation Tuesday: A Turnkey Renovation in Houston Built for Reliability

At REI Nation, Transformation Tuesday showcases the work behind the scenes — how we transform everyday properties into dependable, rent-ready investments. This week’s transformation features 22215 Jay Drive in Spring, TX, a single-family home built in 2000, offering 1,542 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Through a focused renovation, this home was upgraded to meet REI Nation’s standards for durability, resident comfort, and long-term performance.

The Rehab Breakdown

With a final rehab budget of $30,000, this renovation was intentionally scoped to improve functionality, durability, and overall livability — key factors for turnkey investors who value predictability and reduced maintenance.

Highlights of the renovation included:

• System servicing and repairs, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical updates, and water heater servicing to support reliable day-to-day performance
• Flooring upgrades, with vinyl plank flooring in shared living areas, paired with new carpet in bedrooms for comfort and durability
• Kitchen and bathroom refreshes, including cabinet updates, improved fixtures, caulking, and the installation of a new dishwasher to enhance usability and resident appeal
• Interior improvements such as fresh paint throughout, updated lighting, new ceiling fans in living spaces and bedrooms, and refreshed hardware
• Exterior maintenance and repairs, including pressure washing, trim and door painting, concrete and mortar repairs, wood replacement, lighting updates, and yard cleanup

This renovation approach reflects REI Nation’s commitment to delivering top-notch turnkey homes, helping investors avoid costly surprises while creating comfortable, move-in-ready homes for residents.
