Ive had some conversations with Russel Brazil about condos as i had a similar thought as first purchases to yours, he was supportive and has a couple sprinkled here and there in the area.

Unless you think that the supermarkets where we buy our food don't do things like put wheat products on their shelves that include sawdust fillers, the gas stations never doctor their pumps to register a full gallon every .97 gallons, the waiters have never spit in anyone's food, the pharmacies are always giving you your medicines at a fair price, the public school teachers who care for our children are all passionate professionals instead of CYA pension-seekers, and of course that we have statesmen in political office with clean hands and clear hearts and pure thoughts running through their heads every moment of the day...All the hysterical protestations and declarations of extraordinary personal integrity here seem a bit overdone here, don't they?

appreciation,  forced appreciation, and then sprinkle on more appreciation.. great teams of course find great markets ahead of the herd

I was also a residential electrical contractor once upon a time with a little bit of HVAC and plumbing sprinkled in.

When I first started I was really surprised and the number of "nice" areas sprinkled throughout the South Mountain area. 

I was trying to be somewhat conservative in my rent pricing.It's a good blue collar town with some money sprinkled here and there--not to mention it's somewhat close to Mount Holyoke College.

Dress business like, you don't need a suit, but don't go in covered in sawdust and paint on your tennis shoes.

Anyway, he tried to fix it by putting some kind of glue/saw dust mixture in there and now it looks absolutely horrible.SO.....the point of all this is, does anyone have a really good hardwood flooring contractor in the LA/San Fernando Valley area they can recommend?
