So I hose off my outdoor condensers' fins and spray for ants and have been changing filters for my tenants every few months.

We had the guys re-float all the walls and spray new texture and it looks great but I've also heard of guys painting directly over paneling.Anyone done this with success?

I can't imagine that smearing glue would be any quicker than using zip ties, unless the glue is in a spray can.

If the switch is white you can just spray paint them.It depends on what kind of rental you have with what they expect.We have small old water stains from previous leaks on the ceiling when tenant moves out.I buy a spray can of Kilz for 5 bucks and usually last about for 2 of my apartment units hitting spots.You can't tell afterwords with the ceiling and it looks great.It's cheaper than scraping popcorn and trying to match or scraping the whole ceiling and a flat ceiling because it is old showing all imperfections if you just scrape and paint it.On the light switches I agree it works to replace them all but in older apartment buildings I try not to do that because what I have found is the wiring in behind is cut short or has too much excess crammed in.So if the wiring was all clean and the right slack from out of the box it would be easy to replace.I have found that some go smoothly and the others are a bit of a pain to change out making adjustments.The Kilz for the ceiling I only do that on non-active leaks where the drywall still has integrity to it and is not sagging.If it is sagging I cut out and put a patch in and then popcorn over it after priming to stick.All my tenants want is a nice,clean place to live.If you have a high end tenants paying premium bucks then finish level and what the tenant expects will change.In mine replacing everything will only net me maybe another 30 bucks a month in rent and the thousands spent will take 5 to 8 years to recover if everything goes perfectly with each unit.

I'm curing problems with a 6 zone system that sprays too much on the house and forced water into the back laundry room.

Since you consider doing some plumbing in the house anyway, just get a Hudson sprayer pour 1 part bleach 2 parts water and spray the area where mold is visible.

Removing the drywall and then spraying bleach or a mold killer on everything is not hard.

The landlord had it sprayed around 17 Feb and there has been very little effect. 

I spray the walls and ceilings semi gloss white and paint the floors gray .

I was thinking of a spray foam insulation.
