Counter tops...cabinets..light fixtures etc. and appliances-Bathrooms both outdated.

Also had central air installed this week; we thought about putting this off until spring, but with the mild weather this winter, we feel we got a pretty good deal by installing it now ($2,400 for the C/A unit, install, and new thermostat, and $200 for the electric work).The only major project left is the kitchen perimeter countertop; we’re still debating over laminate vs. granite, but we already have some showings scheduled for next week so we have to make a decision quickly.

With that said- flooring is one, kit. cabinets and countertops is another and Lighting is the third.I budget 5bucks a sf labor and mat for flooring- I hardwood all public areas (LR DR hall) ant tile wet - (kit & Ba) carpet the bedrooms at $12sy.

She actually put granite counter tops, wood floors and paid for some minor fixes.

Does anyone have a good countertop contractor they can recommend?

The company that we use also does ceramic tile, countertops and other reglazing. 

I have been a bathtub and counter top refinisher for 13 years now.

Permits (its ok for a homeowner to do anything themselves but a landlord has to have a licensed plumber reconnect the kitchen faucet when changing out countertops), inspections, etc, etc.Its ok for a homeowner to do anything they want and live in a house in any condition they want, but its not ok for a renter to?
