I’m planning on doing a DIY shiplap wall around my boring fireplace that won’t cost much and also painting all kitchen and bathrooms cabinets to a nice bright white to get rid of the outdated oak color.

Have you tried getting in touch with their customer service? 

They included market rate for the kitchen cabinets despite the fact that I built them myself.

I don’t know about your area, by Home Depot isn’t big on customer service nor adding in all that “value”

The old blacktop looks pretty well worn.As far as doing different things, It really comes down to who you project your residents will be for the building, and what you need to do to attract them.Gentrification means replacing the population of the area, and sometimes places get fixed up, but the surrounding area still has problems.It comes down to who you think you will attract as customers, and what those customers will want to make the buying decision.I just kind of ball parked some things based on my knowledge of what residents in tougher areas seem to like (based on my conversations with them over the years).But really its up to you to make a product that your intended customers will want to lease...

I overheard a customer complaining about his satellite TV bill so I recommend he try Hulu or YouTube TV and he said he doesn't know how so I offered to help him with it.

Does anyone know any friendly customers service reps or other employees at SAWS who can help with my situation.I closed on a duplex late yesterday.

Open all cabinets and doors.G.

So it will stay in its current layout (but getting all new cabinets and some new plumbing). 

The manual is your best friend, because its customer some what built around to be user friendly.
