Jon - Thanks! Gave them a call...$275, not a bad price, especially since my GC wanted to charge $450 for a change order to get this done through them!

We were hoping to avoid resurfacing the tub in a current project, but I doubt the Magic Erasers are going to do the trick. Anyone out there have a contractor that they have used for tub resurfacing AND would recommend them in the Dallas, Tx area?

Thanks!

@Account Closed, please don't take this the wrong way, but could you remove "Dallas" from the tag line under your name. Everyone that has Dallas set up as a keyword is receiving notifications every time you reply or post something.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Joel Owens and Karen Margrave. The cabinets are the shaker style, with a basic white. I think semi is the way to go.

Thanks for the input guys!

Joel Owens, Yes, this is a flip, and the cabinets are raw and being painted.

Hello all, my GC & I are not seeing eye to eye on the sheen of the completely gutted kitchen and bath cabinets. Of course, he'll paint them neon if I ask. He states that every job they have done has been semi-gloss. I, on the other hand, see the innards of approx 100 houses going on market each month, and don't recall seeing much of high sheen cabinets. This may be a personal deal that I need to get over. So, please advise on what you guys typically do for painted cabinets, low sheen or high sheen.

House is located in Oak Cliff (Dallas), 1950's, 1102 sq ft, and listing for around $170k.

Thanks!

My wife, Melissa, and I will be there.

Melissa Lange...that's a super-dooper crazy story. My wife would have turned around at the sight of the hanging baby doll heads!

Christopher Boggs, I was glad to see your post. I was about to ask basically the same question. My first deal is a 1951 house with 15 sash windows. The advice I was given was to replace them due to the amount of work & money to get them unstuck, somewhat functional, reglazed, and to remove the multiple layers of paint on the glass itself. And, not to mention the couple dozen or so broken panel pieces of glass.
