Interior Finishing & Remodeling in Oxford, MS
TAV Construction delivers precision flooring, tile, and drywall work for Oxford's residential and rental market. From historic home renovations to student housing turnovers — every surface, finished right.
Oxford Mississippi Remodeling Contractors for High-End Finishes
Oxford is one of North Mississippi's most distinctive markets — a university town with a deep inventory of historic homes, a growing luxury residential sector, and one of the highest per-capita densities of rental properties in the state. Interior finishing here demands more than basic competency. It demands a contractor who understands how material performance, local code requirements, and property-specific conditions intersect.
TAV Construction focuses exclusively on the Interior Envelope — flooring, tile, and drywall — rather than spreading thin across every trade. That specialization means tighter quality control on every phase, cleaner transitions between surfaces, and finishing outcomes that hold up under Lafayette County's humidity cycles and active occupancy.
Every project is directly supervised from demo through final inspection. No subcontracting the finish work to crews who have never touched the space. TAV's crews are on-site, accountable, and familiar with the specific permitting requirements enforced by the City of Oxford Building Department and Lafayette County residential code.
What We Cover in Oxford
- Flooring, tile, and drywall — the full Interior Envelope, not a partial scope
- High-value residential renovations and historic home finishing
- Direct crew supervision on every phase — no blind subcontracting
- Lafayette County code compliance and permit coordination
Why Specialization Matters
Generalist contractors spread their attention across plumbing, framing, electrical, and finishes simultaneously. TAV builds every project around finishing excellence — the surfaces that define how a home looks and feels for years after construction is done.

Custom Tile, LVP, and Hardwood Installation in Oxford
Oxford's diverse housing stock — from century-old craftsman bungalows near the Square to newer construction in Sisk Avenue subdivisions — demands flooring solutions tailored to each property type, subfloor condition, and end-user profile.
Tile Installation
Tile work is where precision separates a professional result from a liability. TAV uses Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing systems for all shower enclosures — a membrane-based approach that eliminates the moisture intrusion paths that cause grout failure, mold growth, and subfloor rot over time. This isn't an upgrade option; it's our standard.
- Full shower enclosure tile from floor pan to ceiling — properly waterproofed
- Custom kitchen and bath backsplashes — glass, porcelain, and natural stone mosaics
- Large-format floor tile with precision leveling and lippage control
- Outdoor tile and covered patio applications with freeze-thaw rated materials
LVP & Hardwood Flooring
Oxford's student rental market turns over hard every May and August. LVP is the dominant specification for investment properties — waterproof, scratch-resistant, and dimensionally stable through Mississippi's humidity swings. For owner-occupied homes, engineered hardwood and solid hardwood remain the premium choice for resale perception.
- LVP installation for rental properties, new construction, and moisture-prone spaces
- Engineered and solid hardwood for luxury residential and historic renovations
- Subfloor leveling and preparation — the step most contractors skip
- Dust-controlled installation with HEPA filtration throughout the process
The Oxford Rental Market
With Ole Miss enrollment at roughly 22,000 students, Oxford operates one of the most active rental turnovers in the state. Properties near campus see significant wear between tenants. TAV offers reliable scheduling for move-out season flooring replacements, with rapid-response crews that can complete full LVP installations across a 3-bedroom unit in a single week — so your property is re-listed before the next semester begins.
Historic Home Considerations
Older Oxford homes often present irregular subfloors, dimensional lumber framing, and floor-plan transitions that complicate modern flooring installation. TAV's crews are experienced with the additional prep work these properties require — sistering joists, shimming low spots, and addressing moisture intrusion at the slab level — before a single plank goes down.

Level 5 Finishing
Level 5 is the highest finish classification for drywall — a skim-coat layer applied over the entire surface that eliminates shadow lines, tool marks, and banding visible under raking light or high-sheen paint. It's the standard for modern interiors and is rarely offered by generalist crews. TAV delivers Level 5 as an option on any project where the final paint finish demands it.
Oxford Drywall Repair & Paint-Ready Finishing
Drywall repair is where most remodeling projects reveal who a contractor actually is. Anyone can hang new drywall. Matching an existing finish — blending a patch invisibly into a textured wall, feathering a seam so it disappears under paint — requires technique that generalists rarely develop because they don't do it often enough.
TAV's drywall crews specialize in repair, not just new installation. Oxford's housing inventory includes a significant number of homes with water damage from aging HVAC systems, roof penetrations, and upstairs plumbing failures. We assess the source before we repair the surface — so the patch isn't covering up an ongoing moisture problem that will open back up in six months.
Every repair is finished to a paint-ready standard: properly primed, sanded to the correct grit, and confirmed flat with a raking light test before we leave the job site. Student housing turnovers, in particular, benefit from our bulk service availability — multiple units in a single property scheduled back-to-back to minimize vacancy time.
Dust control is standard practice on every drywall project. We use plastic containment barriers and HEPA-filtered sanders to protect HVAC systems, adjacent surfaces, and occupied rooms during active work — not as a premium add-on, but as a baseline expectation.

Why Oxford Homeowners Choose TAV Construction
Interior finishing is the last thing done and the first thing noticed. We take that seriously.
Specialization, Not Generalization
TAV does flooring, tile, and drywall — and nothing else. That focus means our crews perform these tasks every day, on every project type, and develop the depth of experience that a jack-of-all-trades contractor never accumulates. You get specialists, not handymen.
Direct Supervision on Every Job
There are no blind assignments to unknown subcontractors. TAV's project leads are on-site for every phase, accountable for the finish quality, and reachable when questions come up. The person who gives you the estimate is connected to the crew doing the work.
Lafayette County Code Familiarity
Permit requirements for Oxford and unincorporated Lafayette County differ. TAV coordinates permit applications, schedules inspections, and knows which inspectors enforce which standards — so your project closes without surprises at the final walkthrough.
Schluter-Certified Waterproofing
Shower waterproofing is the most consequential detail in a bathroom renovation. TAV uses Schluter-Kerdi membrane systems — a proven, contractor-tested approach that eliminates the leak paths behind tile that cause mold, subfloor rot, and expensive remediation years after installation.

Oxford property investors trust TAV for move-out season turnovers. We understand the timeline pressure of student housing cycles and can schedule efficiently across multi-unit properties to minimize vacancy losses during peak rental season.
