Tile, granite, vinyl plank flooring, etc.No particleboard cabinets.  

My dad and I did all of the framing, windows, hardwood flooring, tile, cabinets, and trim work.

(Being Vegas these are newer houses with tile roofs and your mileage may vary.

When we remodeled we decided to put down tile flooring in the kitchen, living room, and hall way area (open floor plan).

But Ill also check around buffalo for those patterns, that's SUPER cool.

Look up the addresses and you will start to see patterns, by the time you get 5 or 6 pages in you will start to be able to eliminate some before doing extensive digging.

Lead paint has a distinctive flaking pattern compared to modern paints. 

Here I can get tile laid for prices that are untouchable in some markets.  

Here we have heat pumps so I will check it out and such next week.I will do all the bathroom plumbing new fixtures and cabinet/door handles myself.Thinking about laminate flooring, I will pull old carpet up myself, tile in kitchen and bathrooms still good.

I went into Home Depot thinking I wanted ceramic tile, but the associate who helped me seemed to think click-lock vinyl would be a better option.I don't know anything about flooring, and figured I'd just hire it out, but I'm not opposed to DIY if the hourly return is high enough.
