Part 1 · The punch list
Small stuff, knocked out in one visit where possible.
1
Replace the kitchen ceiling fan
Kitchen
You provide the fan, we take down the old one and install it.
$240
2
Door stops on every door
Throughout the house
$20 per door with the hardware included, budgeted at $200 for the house. Some doors get a floor stop, some a wall bumper, some a hinge pin stop, whichever suits that door best, so handles stop finding drywall.
$200 budget, $20 per door
3
Towel bars and rings, four of them
Bathrooms
$30 each to install, you order the ones you want. One rack has pulled out of the wall and chewed up the drywall behind it, so there is nothing left to anchor to there. We remount that one in a fresh spot with proper backing at no extra charge while we are doing the others.
$120 you supply the hardware

New baseboard run along the stairwell, caulked and painted, done.

Part 2 · The basement library
Two ways to do it. Pick one, the two options do not combine.
Option A · The full library, three walls$5,650
Seven foot tall built-ins wrapping three walls of the room: the recessed nook wall (84 inches wide, shelving built into the full 12 inch recess), the long back wall (177 inches at 10 inches deep), and the wall by the door (84 inches at 12 inches deep). Furniture grade plywood boxes and shelves, faced in solid pine, shelf rows sized for books with taller rows at the bottom. Every nail hole filled, caulked, primed and sprayed for a furniture grade finish.

About the tile
Tile itself is not included, you pick it and it stays your style call. What to buy: Option A needs about 103 square feet of wall tile and 16 square feet of floor tile, overage already counted. Option B needs about 86 on the walls and the same 16 on the floor. At Floor and Decor math, a $5 per square foot tile puts Option A around $600 in tile and Option B around $510. Pick it out and we deliver it for free, or have us purchase and handle the whole thing for 20 percent over cost.
Your reference photo is the target look, and we are happy to help you select tile that matches it. If you want to save on material, subway tile is the most affordable route per square foot, it holds up well over the years, and it comes with good edging options.
One thing to keep in mind while you shop: every exposed tile edge needs a finish, either a bullnose from the same tile line, a metal edge like Schluter, or, if the tile is porcelain, we can polish the edge ourselves. Check what your tile comes with before you fall in love with it.
A standalone corner bench can always be added after the fact, ask us when we are in there.
Your picks: $0. Tick what you want, then send it over.
