TAV Construction brings precision flooring installation and drywall finishing to Pontotoc homeowners. Engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl tile, and seamless drywall patching — every surface done right the first time.
Engineered Hardwood & Luxury Vinyl Tile Installation in Pontotoc
Pontotoc County homeowners face a consistent challenge that defines flooring decisions across North Mississippi: humidity. The region's warm summers and wet springs create conditions where the wrong flooring product — or an improperly prepared subfloor — will buckle, gap, or delaminate within a few years of installation. Choosing materials that perform in this climate isn't optional; it's the baseline requirement for any flooring project that's meant to last.
TAV Construction specifies and installs moisture-resistant engineered hardwood for clients who want the warmth and resale appeal of wood flooring without the dimensional instability of solid planks in a humid environment. Engineered hardwood's cross-ply construction resists seasonal expansion and contraction, making it the technically correct choice for slab-on-grade foundations and older homes with limited subfloor ventilation — both common in Pontotoc's residential stock.
For clients prioritizing durability and waterproof performance — especially in kitchens, laundry rooms, and high-traffic living areas — luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) deliver a hard-wearing surface that stands up to pets, children, and the demands of active households. Modern LVP products carry realistic wood and stone visual profiles, and the click-lock installation system produces tight, stable joints that won't shift under furniture load or thermal cycling.
Every flooring project begins with a thorough subfloor assessment. Unevenness, soft spots, moisture vapor transmission, and legacy adhesive residue are addressed before the first plank goes down — not discovered after installation when corrections become expensive. TAV's subfloor preparation and leveling work is what separates a floor that performs for a decade from one that shows problems in the first year.

Why Subfloor Prep Matters
A floor is only as stable as what's underneath it. TAV addresses existing subfloor issues — low spots, delaminated panels, moisture damage — before installation begins. Skipping this step is the primary reason new floors develop squeaks, flex, and lippage within the first year.
Drywall Patching & Repair
- Hole and puncture patching — clean repairs that disappear under paint
- Water damage repair — panel replacement and moisture remediation before re-hang
- Texture matching — knockdown, orange peel, skip-trowel, and smooth
- Structural drywall hanging for additions, basement finishing, and remodels
- Paint-ready finishing — primed, sanded, and confirmed flat before we leave
Texture Matching
Matching an existing wall texture is the hardest part of drywall repair — and the part most contractors get wrong. TAV's crews work with knockdown, orange peel, skip-trowel, and smooth finishes daily. We test-spray on a sample board before touching the wall, so the finished patch blends rather than stands out under raking light.
Sheetrock & Drywall Patching Services
Drywall repairs reveal more about a contractor's craft than almost any other trade task. New installation is straightforward — hang panels, tape, mud, sand. But patching an existing wall invisibly requires an understanding of texture, material behavior, and finishing sequence that generalists rarely develop because they don't do it frequently enough to build the pattern recognition it demands.
Pontotoc homes — like most residential construction across North Mississippi — present a consistent profile of drywall issues: settlement cracking along door headers and corner beads, ceiling discoloration and soft spots from HVAC condensation and roof slow-leaks, and the accumulated damage of normal occupancy over time. Each of these repair scenarios has a specific correct approach that differs from the next.
TAV's approach to water-damaged drywall begins by identifying and addressing the source before any repair work begins. Patching over an active moisture intrusion produces a result that will fail again within one to two seasons — and may conceal growing mold behind the new surface. We assess the moisture condition, confirm the source is resolved, and then execute the repair in the correct sequence: replace affected material, apply appropriate primers, finish to a paint-ready standard.
For new construction and room additions, TAV provides full structural drywall hanging — fire-code-rated installation where required, proper blocking for heavy wall-mounted fixtures, and consistent panel alignment that makes the finishing process predictable and clean. Every new installation is finished to at minimum a Level 4 standard, with Level 5 skim-coat available for spaces where high-sheen paint or strong sidelighting will expose surface imperfections.
Dust control is built into every drywall project. Plastic containment barriers isolate active work areas, and HEPA-filtered sanders reduce airborne particulate throughout the sanding and finishing phases. Pontotoc homeowners who are occupying adjacent rooms during a repair can expect a contained work zone, not a whole-house dust event.

Why Pontotoc Homeowners Choose TAV Construction
Interior finishing is the last thing done and the first thing noticed. We take that seriously in every Pontotoc project we touch.
Climate-Matched Material Specification
North Mississippi's humidity profile eliminates certain flooring products from consideration entirely. TAV specifies engineered hardwood and LVP because they perform in this climate — not because they're the lowest cost options or the easiest to install. Material selection is part of what you're paying for.
Flooring & Drywall Specialists
TAV focuses on the Interior Envelope — flooring, tile, and drywall — rather than spreading across every trade. That specialization means crews who install LVP and patch sheetrock every day develop the depth of technique that a generalist contractor rarely reaches. You get tradespeople, not handymen.
Subfloor Prep Before Anything Else
Most flooring callbacks trace back to inadequate subfloor preparation. TAV assesses and corrects subfloor conditions before installation begins — addressing low spots, soft panels, and moisture vapor before a single plank is placed. It adds time upfront and eliminates problems downstream.
Invisible Drywall Patches
A drywall repair that's visible under paint isn't a repair — it's a patch. TAV's finishing crews match existing textures by sample and technique before touching the wall, and every repaired surface is confirmed flat under raking light before the job is closed out.
Transparent Line-Item Quotes
Estimates from TAV itemize labor, materials, subfloor prep, and disposal separately — so you understand what you're buying and where the costs come from. No lump-sum numbers that balloon after the work starts. No change-order surprises from conditions that should have been identified during the estimate.
Dust-Controlled Work Zones
Flooring and drywall work generates significant dust. TAV uses plastic containment barriers and HEPA-filtered equipment on every project — protecting your HVAC system, adjacent rooms, and belongings during active work, not as an upgrade, but as a baseline standard of care.
