Then solution of 2 cups dawn 2 cups vinegar on showers tubs and sinks
 
May later require bath upgrades, bath fixtures, painted wooden frames on mirrors to update, new bath fixtures (second stage remodel to be done one bath at a time) Cost $ 8000.
 
Clean all windows, behind washer and dryer clean garage and after leak is fixed paint garage floor and walls ( do it self cost $55)
 
Paint the entire unit vanilla white and dove white trim - call me got a guy whose bid is $1000
