Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if I could get any advice on how to approach my upcoming wall and floor home improvement project.
I live in an apartment where the walls are all cinderblock. I want to change the appearance of the walls by smoothing it out and making it look "normal"
I also want to take out the carpeting and put in wood flooring (probably laminate since it seems like it would cost less). Part of the floor is tile too (by the door). I want to take out out the tile and put wood there too.
In what sequence should this be done? My guess is that the floor needs to be done before the walls to make sure the walls get seamless coverage & so the molding can be put in right after the walls.
But I've never attempted a project like this so any tips would be helpful. Also, if anyone has recommendations on a contractor it would be greatly appreciated.
Mahalo!!
