Tempe Has the Oldest Housing Stock We Work In
Tempe was substantially built out decades before most of the Valley, and it shows underfoot. A large share of the housing is 1950s through 1970s ranch homes near ASU and the older neighborhoods, mixed with condos and townhomes and a heavy concentration of rental and investment property. Between the age of the slabs and the turnover of tenants, almost every Tempe project starts with a question the newer suburbs never ask: what is actually under the existing floor?
Durable plank through the highest-traffic path in the home.
In homes of this era it can be original ceramic laid directly on the slab, sheet vinyl over adhesive, layers added by successive owners, or all three in different rooms. Sixty-year-old slabs have also had six decades to move, crack and settle. None of this is a problem, but it has to be assessed before a material is chosen, and it is why a quote written from a phone call is worth very little in Tempe.
Rental and Investment Property Is a Different Calculation
A significant part of the Tempe market is owners preparing a property for tenants or for sale, and the right answer there is genuinely different from a forever home. The material has to survive turnover rather than flatter a photograph: a mid-to-high wear layer luxury vinyl plank in a neutral tone, run continuously so there are no transitions to fail, in a color that hides the wear a rental takes.
New carpet, budget-friendly for bedrooms in rental properties.
Two practical points for landlords. Replacing one damaged plank is far cheaper than replacing a room of carpet between tenants, which is the entire argument for hard surface in a rental. And a floor that dates itself in three years costs you again at the next turnover, so a neutral, current, non-trendy visual is worth more than a striking one.
