@John HickeyThis would likely be suitable for 250k-550k trim level

I was nervous about it, but I've had licensed crews work up a sh*t storm on my last place billing me 10k/wk and the trim out was a total slop job.

@Peter Sanchez, I had never touched a piece of trim in my life.

You can take a building in a D neighborhood and give it all the gold trimmings, but that won't give you Class A rents. 

I’d paint walls a light gray and do white border trim in all rooms .

Remodeling kitchen, painting, adding new trim work, new flooring What was the outcome?

Nixon Vayupak I agree asphalt usually looks dated Pavers or cobblestone looks great too very Euro chic but expensive but if it works with your exterior colors grey black doors or black trim it can work I saw a house with black asphalt driveway black trim and doors garage and front it looks very modern Also resurfacing will be a lot cheaper than ripping it all up and pouring concrete

My nstaller charges me about $50 a window, and he supplies the caulk and vinyl trim strips if needed. 

-Matt$212k ++++To me it seems the contractors didn’t understand what you are looking for if you told them to quote  Minor cosmetic workI would give them a very detailed list of what you want if you didn’t already Paint all walls and trim with 2 coats of behr semi gloss white paint Paint all ceiling with Behr premium ceiling paint Install LVP XYZ brand on all floors with 5” baseboard Etc And so on 

The upstairs kitchens on converted foursquares are usually converted bedrooms.Most of the trim looks heavy and plain, which gave the American Foursquare its name, so it's probably mostly original, which is also good.
