    Airless Sprayer for Painting interior of house?

    Thanks for your helpful reply! May I ask what size tank you used and what materials did you use for masking? I like your tip about peeling off the masking before its dry. P.S Do you have to use paint thinners and would Melamine paint work with this contraption?

    Airless Sprayer for Painting interior of house?

    I am wondering what the cons of using airless sprayers are. I have no idea why most professional painting companies don`t use them since I would think they would save a lot of time so I`m obviously missing something. I was thinking of renting one but I would like to know what experts here think...

    Killz or Ozone or both?

    I read previous threads on this topic but I still have questions. The baseboards of a 1100 sf. house smells like cat urine. I believe the previous resident had this problem for years so its hard to tell if the walls have even absorbed the odor. Would using an ozone generator be enough to solve...

    Edmonton-Secondary Suite Grant Program. Is it worth the hassle?

    From what I understand, duplexes are exempt from the grant. I am not sure if I interpreted the documents correctly. Here is the table that I received. I understand there is a maximum on $25K on the grant too, for each property. 2008 Maximum Income Thresholds by Household Size (MIT), 2009...

    NuFloors, Sherwood Park

    Maybe I got a different guy than you. I`m pretty sure his name is Ralph. Apparently Ralph added that he would not even bother with giving a quote out if another company has already given a quote.

    NuFloors, Sherwood Park

    NuFloors was recommended to me by a member who has used them for his Edmonton properties so I told my general contractor, a well mannered, articulate gentleman to make a call. Perhaps this company has become busier since this member last used them but I found them to be impolite and terse in...

    $34000 quote on interior paint job for a 2200 sf (with basement) house

    My property is in need of some TLC. The above quote includes interior painting of the ceilings, walls, trim, and doors of the said property. Even though I have old and thirsty walls, $34000 is not a price I expected to hear! There are 6 bedrooms upstairs and downstairs- 4 suites in total. I...

    Noise issues if I use laminate flooring throughout?

    I was advised by my general contractor that I should use carpet in the bedroom and other high traffic areas because of noise issues. Is this a real concern? If so, I will take his advise but would placing hardwood laminate in the entire basement be ok then?

I also need recommendations on what kind of plants or flowers would require the least work and...

    Snow Removal in Edmonton

    I am wondering how property owners deal with snow removal in the winter for Edmonton Properties. I used the search function and could not find any leads. First of all, I do not know exactly which areas of a house needs to be shoveled when there is snow. In addition to the front sidewalks, and...

    Young RE Investors

    It sounds like a great line up Russell. Questions I would like to have answered: 1. How long did it take for their property to cash flow to the point where they could live off its income? 2. What tool(s) do they think is responsible for the bulk of their success. Ex. JVs? Networking? 3. What...

    RONA- general contracting?

    I am not sure if I am mistaken but I think heard that RONA will make a trip to your property to do measurements for things like kitchen cabinets, bathrooms and will supply the tradespeople if you buy your materials from them. Is this true?
