Overall, this project was a much smaller rehab than we are used to but in a little over a week we completed the following:- pressure washed the outside of the entire property- repaired and replaced damaged sections of gutters- replaced thermostat- re-wired furnace - painted exterior doors and shutters- replaced carpet in the living areas (living room, dining room, kitchen) with Allure vinyl plank flooring- steam cleaned carpet in all three bedrooms- replaced old vinyl floors in both bathrooms with ceramic tiles- repaired several areas of the walls with large holes- painted the entire house realist beige (thanks JScott)- Resurfaced the kitchen cabinets and repainted- purchased and installed all new appliances (dishwasher, stove, fridge, microwave)- replaced all switch plate and outlet covers - cleaned the house front to back and top to bottomDuring this time we had our lease agreement reviewed by our attorney and were getting other administrative and operating processes finalized to be able to rent the property.
