So I pick up the keys to my new 3br house in a few weeks, and I've set the 'move-in' date 2 weeks after that.
There are 2 main things I want to do:
1)install floorboards (bamboo)
2)Re-paint the house
Now, I'm thinking it would be best to do floorboards first, as the floorboards could completely change the look of the paint, correct?
The other thing is, we're debating whether to paint ourselves or hire a painter. Considering the cost of the painter, we may well do it ourselves. I figures as long as we do the proper prep-work, are careful and research the paint types we're using we should be fine. It's just time consuming....though we're still undecided.
Anybody have recommendations for a painter in Melbourne? Coburg area...
Also, are there any ways we could reduce the cost of a painter?
Following from that, we like feature walls - would a painter charge extra for these?
Of course, any recommendations for who to use for floorboards would be appreciated
I figure it's safest to hire somebody to do the flooring, I wouldn't know where to start with that!
