"There were some hiccups along the way, due to unforeseen structural damage in the walls. Two neighboring units above ours both had waste water leaks at the bathing area toilets due to failed wax rings under the toilets (the water didn't leak except when the toilets were flushed...nice, right?). Given these foreclosed units had sat on the market for several months prior to our purchasing them, there is no way to know how long the leaks existed except to say the floor joists underneath the bath area floors above ours were rotted to the point of needing replacement, along with load bearing walls supporting those floor joists. Some obvious attempts at structural repairs had been done in years past because the quality of those repairs were sub-standard and did not meet code for the floor load above sitting on this badly repaired structural damage, so that had to be demo'd and replaced, along with the structurally compromised load bearing structural members. Mr. Camp performed a very high-quality repair to the floor/ceiling assembly, and in fact over-built it considering there is only a second story being supported from below. Mr. Camp's credo is better to over-build than to under-build and be back in a couple of years to tear it all out and start over... I happen to like that type of thinking...
And he effected these unforeseen repairs at a very reasonable price, completing the almost total reframing of two bath areas in less than 2 days. Also, these units had been built in the mid-60's and converted to condos in the mid-70's, so there was asbestos insulated aluminum wiring in the walls and Bob recommended completely re-wiring the units while all the walls were opened up, which we decided to do, considering the amount of money we were already investing in these units. Both condensing units where replaced, one unit going out during construction, the other being even older than the dead unit, it was decided to replace both units now, and run new copper lines and wiring to clean up some unnecessary furr downs and modernize the appearance in the bath areas.
His crew's tile work was excellent; we chose a laser edge zero grout line tile for the living and dining room and the sub-floor must be very flat and clean of any humps/bumps or they show up in the tile edges, due to a corner or edge not sitting flush with its neighboring tile. The tile that did get grout, all ran very straight and square, with clean grout lines, and all haze cleaned. His guys also used admix instead of water to mix the grout instead of water, so sealer mixed right in instead of applied by hand later. We had a tile mural inset into the granite back-splash, very clean and sharp-looking. All the cabinetry hung very cleanly and square, with nice granite tile counter-tops. We also chose a Martha Stewart Light Strokes paint, which makes the walls look like suede, without any faux finish effects (although we could have faux'd the walls, we didn't) but the paint application requires better than average painting skills even without the faux than typical paint and his guys put the paint on very nicely, and it looks great!
We converted the second kitchen to a bar and now have a large kitchen/dining area with a separate living area with a full service bar!
All in all, a very technically difficult job, with other difficulties associated with Condos, HOA board rules about hours of work performed, trash disposal, even being allowed on site, and Mr. Camp and Sunlite Exteriors, suited up, showed up and got it down, for the amount of money agreed upon. Even the extras required by the water leakage and bad electrical wiring were repaired without vacuuming the bank account dry.
Consider us very satisfied customers of Sunlite Exteriors.
