Now for example, if there was a half-bathroom already there and you just want to put new shower tiles, toilet, vanity, etc. that's one thing (you could probably get away without doing a permit).

@Jason DiClemente are they tearing off the existing shingles or are they laying shingles over it? 

Very well explained, I appreciate you taking the time to lay it all out!

@Laura Casner I did peel and stick tile in a unit and while I know it’s not the same as wallpaper it ended up with wrinkles in it and I’m very disappointed with the outcome.

I'm excited for you and the journey that lays ahead.

We don’t have basements, or foundation issues, the tile roofs last “forever” so there’s almost no reason.

I want new vanity, tub/shower combo, tile flooring, new mirror etc.Ask for project list, cost, and scope on previous jobs.

You need to put on your landlord pants and lay down the law.

I don't think I've heard of anything less than that, but may e residential charges less, I always stand the sheets up, that way you have one vertical seem to tape, not one horizontal and 2 vertical when you lay it down.

In many cases, the floor between the two is a conventional wood floor- i.e. wood joists, subfloor, and floor with carpet or tile as a walking surface.
