Projects: Rental Reno



When it came time for Platinum Members to renovate a rental apartment, we were excited.  With the right folks on the case, we whipped-up some nice upgrades in just a few weeks.  The kitchen was outdated...



So with the help of our main-man Steve, we took out the old stuff, and even ripped up 5 tectonic layers of laminate, vinyl, and cheap wood flooring down to the subfloor...




Then we broke through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man to make a doorway to convert the 1.5BR to a true 2BR...






Then we scribbled a quick drawing to map the new stuff...



Our go-to electrician Mike - who one Platinum Member called "a ninja" - brought new amps up from the basement through the dumbwaiter and rewired the kitchen.  After seeing the job Cousin John's guy Mark of PTL Renovation did on this kitchen in Windsor Terrace, we knew he was the guy for the rest of the job.  We were pleased with the results...





For a moment, we were worried about the floor heights with the new tile and the existing penny tile we were keeping, but Mark staggered the tile height just enough for another seamless transition...




Popped some new glass in the transoms...




Then Steve and his guys finished up the bathroom...





Sanded the parquet floors, freshened up some new coats of paint... the whole place was revived and a great rental was born.  Still a nice look at under $750/month per BR.

  1. How much did the project cost? I have an apartment that I would like to renovate in my building (a rental). Would like to have the contact numbers of those that helped you in the project.

    Thank you
