We had Nova installed before we moved in. Then we did just about everything else you listed. We bought resale, so we painted ceiling to baseboards, doors and trim and had LVP installed before we moved in. Some things are easier before the furniture is delivered.
Thanks! I've heard mixed reviews about NOVA. While they're certainly better than nothing, we also have seen hard water can do to faucet filters which is kind of gross when you're using that water to brush your teeth. So far, only one glowing recommendation for Culligan from our sales agent who said he checks people's ice cubes to tell: most, including with NOVA, are opaque but his, with Culligan, are crystal clear. It's expensive - over $5K - but, he says, well worth it.

These are the hidden fees with TV...and don't get me started on the bond.
