The rehab was completed primarily by me and my brother-in-law, which included: -Bathroom remodel (porcelain tile flooring after repairing damage to subfloor, repainting, new hardware on sink and shower) -Kitchen remodel (repainting of cabinets, new cabinet hardware, new floor, subway tile backsplash, refinished countertop) -New flooring in all but the bedrooms (Lifeproof hardwood vinyl planking) -Painting/wall repair throughout houseThe process took us just about 2 months overall to do on our own, but we made it!
