Schedule
Anyone have a schedule they use when rehabbing? What do you do 1st, 2nd, etc.? I would imagine painting and floors are last.

Hello Troy,
Here is the order my crews prefer to do the work:
- Demo - 1 or 2 days
- Framing - 1 to 3 days
- Mechanicals (Electric, plumbing, HVAC) - 2 to 3 days
- Drywall - 3 to 5 days
- Trim and Doors - 1 to 2 days
- Paint - 1 to 2 days
- Cabinets - 1 day (order far enough in advance)
- Flooring - 2-4 days
- Counters - 1 day (order when the cabinets are installed)
- Fixtures (Fans, faucets, etc) - 1 to 2 days
- Cleaning and staging - 1 day
Some touch up paint is needed at the end, but it easier for them to spray the home when there's nothing to worry about getting paint on (no cabinets or flooring). We generally do landscaping after flooring (as the flooring guys and painters will mess up the landscape dumping their buckets), unless we need to grow grass or something that will take a few weeks, in which case the landscaping is done first thing.
