I use the cheap vinyl ones and plan on replacing them as needed between tenants.

For example if majority is vinyl siding, ceramic tile, standard cabinets and laminate counter tops, VS wood siding or brick, marble or slate, custom cabinets, and granite counter tops.

Since the house was built in 1978, the bigger problem is asbestos - the drywall joint compound, sheet vinyl flooring, acoustic ceiling exture, and other things are likely to be made with it, so it is really an asbestos job, and that is highly regulated.

That was materials and labor to replace the bathtub drain assembly, a new P trap, and 1.5 inch PVC pipe to the main stack that was about three feet away. $1,500 that you got charged is highway robbery.

Ed Lee@ed leeI got it done very reasonably because of an arrangement with my contractorbut what was purchased was about 60.00 worth of pvc fittings and pipe you need a drain pipe and supply linesyou need the washer dryer hookup boxesand a roll of electrical wire that handles 220 currentwe had to get 2 30 amp breakers one for each unitand dry wall and mud to repair what we ripped outand finally vent tubing I cant say exactly what all this cost but somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 but remember I was doing two units the labor was priced at 160 a day and it took three days to complete.so just under 900 to do both units

...Allure isn't laminate that I'm aware of - it's vinyl plank flooring.Originally posted by Rob K:...

Has anyone added interior molding or trim work to existing vinyl windows?

If you use peel 'n stick tiles or sheet vinyl, you may get a better look, but ONE wrong move and the floor is trash.A similar trick with carpeting was that rather than the typical beige or brown solid color, we used a carpet with a variegated color and rather long nap.

We're about to try some peel-n-stick vinyl plank flooring that runs about $1 a square foot and looks really nice.

Are they that much harder to get a toilet sealed to than the modern pvc ones?
