First apartment: clueless roughly speaking flooring, bathroom work and other renovations:? I'm moving into a small (NYC small) 1 bedroom basement apartment...

I'm moving into a small (NYC small) 1 bedroom basement apartment next to 1 bathroom with a standing shower (no tub). The entire bathroom requests to be redone near ceramic tiles and the standing shower stall be previously installed incorrectly and needs to be totally replaced. In decoration the apartment currently has wicked linoleum flooring and I am thinking ceramic tiles are the best leeway for new flooring since it can obtain quite humid. How much do you consider this will cost (I know I need measurements...forthcoming...but I'm looking for a ballpark). Also is it sage to have someone approaching Home Depot come in and do adjectives the tiling work? Any suggestions appreciated--I'm new to this!
Answers:    I don't live within NYC so maybe it's different within, but my understanding is that you own no control over performing these kinds of renovations within an apartment. Your landlord is responsible. If I tried to replace the floor tile contained by my apartment, they would kick me out. Read your lease.

If the shower stall be installed incorrectly, you can put in a work direct and they will replace it for you. There's nothing you can do in the region of the ceramic tiles except live near it. It's definitely a unpromising idea to own someone from Home Depot come in in need your landlord's consent. That's what their maintenance staff is for.

There's in reality an old Mitch Hedburg set-up about how he have an apartment, so he likes to jump to Home Depot and not buy anything. "They should come up with an 'Apartment Depot'. Just a bunch of guys standing around clich¨¦ 'we don't have to fix s***.'" :)
