What do you do with left over materials from a rehab?
Hello,
I'm flipping my first house. What do you typically do with any left over materials not used from a rehab such as tiles, wood, paint? Should I just have the contractor get rid of remaining unused materials?
Thanks

If you're flipping it, it's nice to leave some paint for the new owners for future touch up... unless it's more than a gallon. Same for tiles and other finish materials. Otherwise yeah it can be reused somewhere else.
