I have stripped my kitchen cabinets and have been planning to rent a sprayer to paint them, in order to avoid brush strokes.

Has anyone done this and can recommend / not recommend using this method?

Any recommendations for a place to rent a sprayer? I know Home Depot has them but not sure if they are suitable for this application.

Also, the job will have to be done indoors as I have no yard or basement. Is this a recipe for disaster?

Does anyone know if there is a place for the general public to bring construction debris within New York City?

I have a small amount of construction debris but some of it is quite heavy. I doubt the regular sanitation service would collect the heavier items, and debris removal guys seem to be shady at best.

Any advice?

Hello,
I know that there are all kinds of topics on here with good contractor recommendations, but I am posting a new one anyway!

I am looking to do a very small amount of wall demo in my co-op and demo and lay new kitchen floor tiles.

Can anyone recommend a good, licensed and insured contractor to do this small job?

Also- I would especially appreciate a recommendation from someone who has had work done in the Clinton Hill Co-ops that they are happy with.

Thanks!

Here is a hypothetical situation, which may become relevant to me in the near future.

Let’s say I have own an apartment in a multi-unit building, of which the FAR has been maximized. I happen to have a double height space in my unit and would like to create a floor and make more usable square footage above.

This is not a permittable renovation, but what are the potential implications of doing such a job?

Is it a serious thing, or do people do it all the time?
