Make-ready work for landlords on the student lease calendar, plus renovation and storm repair for Tuscaloosa and Northport homeowners. We are based in Birmingham, about an hour up I-20/59.
Downtown and the Druid City area, Glendale Gardens, Forest Lake, the Highlands, Alberta, Rosedale, the neighborhoods around the University of Alabama campus, and Northport across the river
Pre-war and mid-century homes near downtown and campus, a large stock of student rentals and small multifamily, and post-2011 rebuilds in Alberta and Rosedale
About 55 to 60 miles southwest via I-20/59, usually an hour to an hour and a quarter depending on traffic. We have no Tuscaloosa office, so jobs are scheduled as planned trips.
Turnover work timed to the Tuscaloosa lease cycle: paint, flooring, drywall, doors, fixtures, and move-out punch lists.
Kitchens, baths, and repairs for Tuscaloosa’s pre-war and mid-century homes, with honest condition assessments.
Rebuilding interiors and making exteriors weather-tight after storms, wind, and water intrusion.
The University of Alabama shapes Tuscaloosa’s housing more than anything else. A large share of the homes and small apartment buildings near campus are rentals, and many leases turn over in a short window at the end of spring and before fall classes. For landlords, that window is the whole year: carpet or LVP, paint, drywall patches, doors and hardware, appliances, and the punch list from move-out photos all have to land before the next tenant’s keys. We plan Tuscaloosa turnover work ahead of time so the crew and materials are lined up for that window. Book early, because the calendar fills.
Away from campus, Tuscaloosa has a real mix of housing. Glendale Gardens, Forest Lake, and the Highlands include older homes with plaster walls, original wood floors, and pier-and-beam foundations. Mid-century ranches spread out from there. On April 27, 2011, an EF4 tornado tore through Alberta, Rosedale, and other neighborhoods, so much of the housing on that path was rebuilt after 2011 and is newer than the streets around it.
The weather risks are spring and fall severe storms, tornadoes, heavy rain, and long humid summers. Low-lying areas near the Black Warrior River and its creeks can see high water. We repair storm and water damage after mitigation and document it with photos for your adjuster, but we do not handle claims and we never waive deductibles. Permits go through the City of Tuscaloosa, the City of Northport, or Tuscaloosa County depending on the address.

Tuscaloosa is about an hour from us on I-20/59, and we have no Tuscaloosa office. We plan Tuscaloosa work as scheduled trips rather than same-day calls and group nearby jobs when we can. Travel is built into your written quote, not added later. For a very small one-off repair, we will tell you honestly if a local handyman makes more sense for you.
Yes, and that is a large part of why landlords call us about Tuscaloosa. Send us the unit list, move-out dates, and any move-out photos, and we will put together an itemized scope per unit. Because so many leases turn over in the same short window, we can only take on as many units as we can actually finish before move-in. Contact us well before your lease dates so we can hold the time.
We send photo updates during the job and before-and-after photos at the end. Any change to the scope is written up and approved by you before we do it. Parents who own a unit for their student and investors who have never seen the property in person both work with us this way.
Yes. Older Tuscaloosa homes often have plaster walls, original wood windows and floors, older wiring and plumbing, and pier-and-beam foundations, and they need different methods than newer construction. Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint, and federal EPA RRP rules apply when it is disturbed, so ask us how we will handle that before work starts. If something we open up changes the scope, we stop and walk you through it before going further.
Yes. We do the rebuild after mitigation: drywall, trim, flooring, siding, soffit and fascia, and making the exterior weather-tight. We photograph damage and progress for your adjuster and work alongside them, but we do not handle insurance claims and we never waive deductibles. After a large regional storm, demand spikes, and we will give you a realistic start date instead of a promise we cannot keep.
Ask us for our current license numbers and you can check them yourself on the State of Alabama’s licensing portals (Home Builders Licensure Board and General Contractors Board). Ask for a current certificate of insurance at any point during the estimate process.
