Sep 2017

the work will be done next week. But the restoration of the house, the floors, drywall and baseboards could take up to a month depending on when I can get a contractor in and how soon new flooring can be ordered and installed. My current flooring extends under all my cabinets, so they will have to be removed to get rid of the flooded boards and install new. I'm hoping only a month from start to finish.

There will be a big demand for contractors in my area because of the hurricane.
