Job well done! The finishes all look very nice.
If you don't mind sharing... What was the cost of this flip?

The usual grass seed for lawns in the Houston area is winter rye, a quick-fix green-up variety that lasts for a few short months before dying out in the spring. Bermuda grass seed is available, but it isn't used much - makes a ratty-looking lawn, particularly in the summer. If you want to go this route, Southwest Fertilizer on Bissonnet might have some.
Our commonly-used lawn grasses here are varieties of Saint Augustine and zoysia. They are installed over prepared soil as a solid layer of sod and are not available as seed. This could be a DIY project if you have a small lawn.
If you are new to this part of Texas or have never had a lawn or garden before, please get some books written specifically for Texas Gulf Coast gardening - nothing you know or read about gardening elsewhere works here!!!
Thanks for the info. Looks like I need to go do some reading!

I am looking to seed a small lawn and was wondering if there are any local stores that offer better pricing/service over Lowes, Home Depot, etc.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I am looking for a plumber to replace an existing garbarge disposal. I only need labor, I have ordered a new disposal.
Is this something that can be done for under a $100?
