I am looking at a major renovation. Kitchen, bathroom, and converting a basement to an apartment. I am looking for someone that can do the design and draw up plans for this project. Who do I go to and what kind of cost just for the design and blueprints?

Celi asked:


We had renovation in our apartment replacing tiles in bathroom and kitchen. How long does it take usually to replace all of the tiles in these 2 places?

This renovation guy is taking in total of…15 hours in total in 3 days and he’s still not done. I feel this is taking way too long…He didn’t replace all of it by the way…he only did like 3 tiles in kitchen, 15 tiles in bathroom and he replaced a new dry wall underneath these 15 tiles. Plus, these tiles he replaced aren’t even matched with others…I mean, not at all.

He did grout work last night…I have no idea how long this will go on and even I asked, he seems to have no idea either.

I can’t fire him because he is hired by new landlord, current one doesn’t have any power over this so there’s nothing I can do. But I was just wondering how long it usually take?

Thanks in advance!
By the way, he’s not kind of a guy who shows up on time…He told me that he’ll be here at 11:00AM today but it’s already 12:40PM…It’s been like this since last Wednesday. He’s also not kind of a guy to call us 1 hours before he shows up even we asked him to since last Wednesday. He didn’t come here on weekends though…He shows up like at 4 in afternoon often, right after my husband leave. He did that 3 days in a row(Thu, Fri, Mon) and on first day, he told me to clear the kitchen then he said he will be right back in 5 to 10 minutes, he never showed up till next day at 4 in afternoon.

He keeps insisting to do extra work, and I keep insisting him to not to worry…but he changes his tone as soon as my husband leaves. He snaps and yells constantly. I’m frightened of this drastic change…But there’s nothing we can do. At least I want to know how long this usually takes.
