Jack Lech at Event Flooring did a great job refinishing our hardwoods and was inexpensive.

We refinished the garage, had some repair work done in the patio room and roof, had some repair work done to the HVAC & replaced the outside condenser unit.

Rehab included: new roof, basement drain tiles/sump pump, bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, upgraded lighting in kitchen&living room, new smoke detectors connected to power, ran electrical to detached garage, paved driveway, painted throughout, re-finished hardwood floors

We did small renovations on this property, to include updating the main for flooring with LVP flooring, and refinishing the upstairs wood floors.

I got most of my furniture from local furniture stores and Big Lots, a store that refinishes vintage dressers with chalk paint, FB Marketplace, Wayfair, Pottery Barn, AllModern, Bed Bath Beyond (online), Home Depot (online), Amazon, and Target for outdoor furniture.

That included the crawlspace structure items we hired out, new paint in the whole house, new flooring in the kitchen, laundry, and all the bathrooms, new carpet in the bedrooms, subfloor in the kitchen, new front and back doors, removing a wall in the kitchen, painting cabinets, new countertop and backsplash, refinishing the deck, and all the little odds and ends that just don't make sense.

We completed a light renovation:-Fresh Paint-Refinished Cabinets-New Counters-New appliances(some crawlspace work on soft spots, electrical items and small things called on inspection as well).
