Get a GC to do a budget for you that is accurate to the penny.

The tree’s needles have a wax-like coating that prevents the loss of moisture during winter months.

So it's in rough shape.Here's some details of the estimate:Job Details:Deep clean apartment before work is started Remove old flooring from kitchen, bathroom and living room Clean appliances Remove old ceiling tiles in kitchen, bathroom and living room Spray oil base primer throughout; walls, trim, ceilings and expose underlayment Spray finish paint coat throughout Replace ceiling tiles in living room Replace light fixtures in kitchen and living room Install new sheetrock on ceiling in bathroom and kitchen Install laminate flooring in living room and kitchen Install vinyl floor in bathroom Finish clean apartment for rent

Shingles here is what everyone uses unless you are talking a multi- million dollar home with slate roof or copper down spouts etc.One thing not mentioned is some buyers and renters do not like metal roofs. they say they are extremely noisy when it rains compared to asphalt.

Floors were all sanded and stained with dark finish with 3 coats of poly added.

Chicago requires you to hold that money in a separate account incruing pennies as interest.
