Comments I'm putting my condo on the market and have a list of things to take care of. (1) Garage is the largest item, there are some boards on it that I'd like to replace as well as paint. Also (2) a small balcony with wood railings, (3) 2 large window trim to paint (all will require prep, some parts in decent shape but other parts not). If you are interested in interior work (4) bathroom wall and ceiling, and (5) installing new sheet vinyl in a small kitchen. (Totally ok if you are only interested in the outdoor painting)
