In lieu of white cermanic tile?
Hello folks. So here's a design question. I'm helping a friend with a renovation in an insane coop in the city. She wants 24" white tile throughout the apartment..the coop board says no way.
What's the next best thing? Polished concrete? (which they probably won't go for) Wood floors with an insane amount of polish? Any thoughts?

Silent Paint Stripper
Does anyone have a silent painter stripper that they would be willing let me borrow or rent? I'm working on renovating my entry hall and i think it might help the process move a little faster. Thanks.

I used this amazing woman named Kate Taylor. She did an amazing job on my apartment and has reasonable rates. She's also very knowledgeable about green products. 443-465-6490.

they think walking on the tile will cause too much noise?! which is ridiculous because she doesn't wear shoes in the house. i thought about painting the floors white..i think that will have to be the option. the existing floor is really dark and worn parquet.

I agree. I think we're headed into bamboo. Thanks for all your thoughts!

It seems wildly inappropriate to recommend myself, but what the hell.
I'm very new at this - but that means I'll work my butt off for you, and I haven't had time to learn how to lie yet :)
My number is 718-924-9700, and my email is nfurrer@idealpropertiesgroup.com.
Thanks!

Nikki Furrer:
What's more inappropriate is your slanderous comment about learning how to lie. Most brokers work very hard and devote long hours to servicing their clients.
What is most curious is why you want to enter a field in which you have such negative opinions of others in the field.
Go work your butt off somewhere else. You are a disgrace to the profession.

Get a grip guest 8:32.....as if she was serious. It appeared to be just a joke and even if it wasn't the reality is...alot of brokers are misleading.

What broker is NOT a disgrace to the profession? I think, by definition, a broker is disgraceful. So...way to go Nikki! Acting as we all expect you to!

Once again another mindless thread at brownstoner.

Oh my, okay - it was just a joke.
The reality is, as shown here, that my recently chosen profession doesn't have the best reputation. I was nervous about "soliciting" on this forum, so I joked about it so I wouldn't sound pushy or obnoxious. Clearly, I missed the mark.
I apologize if I came across as slanderous to other brokers. That was never my intention.

Check out http://www.nyc-open-house-listings.com/ You will be able to see a good listing of open houses and the brokers who are showing them. I just saw a listing on there for what seems to be a great 1 bedroom in prospect heights. Good luck!

Original poster here. I ended up using Kate Taylor (recommended above). She did a wonderful job, had infinite patience, was incredibly reliable, and all for about half the cost quoted by Larry Ramos. I highly recommend Kate.

Not only the noise, the board has to take into account resale value for all shareholders, and they may feel that something that far off the norm could bring down the value of the apt. Boards are heads of corporations and the prime requirement of a board is to enhance shareholder value.
I'd bleach the existing floors and/or paint, per 4:10. You wouldn't need board approval for that.
