My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Getting paint OFF basment walls?

20 years ago

Lower part is poured, uppers are block concrete... Paint appears to be latex and is peeling in sections (though not enough to just scrape it all off). 'Ready Strip' the green stuff they advertise on TV works ok - but will take A LOT of it to strip the whole basement (HAHA). Also need to strip the floor I believe ( see other post regarding sanitred - they recommend clean concrete free of paint for application).
