I studied each one and made the following notes. I will be sending these notes back to the PM company today and meeting with him via phone call early this week to review them.
DEBRIS REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL:
--> Remove all the debris from the interior and the exterior of the house.
• Estimated cost: $600 (that's what the invoice in the monthly statement says)
FLOORS:
--> Living Rooms and Bedrooms - The carpet has been removed (I don’t have any pictures of the damaged carpet), so we need to recarpet. We can recarpet over the flooring that's there now. Pick a neutral medium-toned carpet that doesn't show the soiling too much and can be steam-cleaned and shampooed with the next turnover. Put the carpet right up to the front door rather than replacing the linoleum that's there now.
Estimated cost: $2,500?-->Kitchen Floors - Not sure / don’t have pics.
-->Bathroom Floors - They appear to be okay.
INTERIOR WALLS, TRIM, AND CEILINGS:
--> Wall and ceiling damage – looks like these can be fixed with scraping of any peeling paint and patching the holes and smoothing out or retexturing the patched work.
• Estimated cost: $500?
(My reasoning - I've done this work myself, DIY, to large and small holes in the wall, and it's easy to do, doesn’t take that long, and the materials are cheap.)
--> Missing Baseboard and Door Trim - Replace.
Estimated cost: $400?--> Painting - Once the wall damage is fixed and the trim is all there, give the interior walls a nice fresh coat of paint, all one light/bright/neutral color. Paint the ceilings, trim, and doors white.
• Estimated cost: $1,000?
(FYI - I recently had the interior walls of a 950 sf home, it's kitchen cabinets, and a 7' high 175' linear fence painted for a combined total of $1,100 in California, and they did a great job.)
LIGHTS:
-->I can see some ceiling lights need new light bulbs and new light coverings (not a whole new light fixture unless absolutely necessary).
• Estimated cost: $100?
CABINETS:
--> All cabinets, in the bathroom and kitchen, can be sanded and painted black.
• Estimated cost: $750?
WINDOWS:
--> I can't tell by the pictures if the windows need to be "replaced" as a result of being completely broken and no longer operable, or if the window glass is broken and a replacement pane is all that's needed.
• Estimated cost if glass panes only are needed: $______?
• Estimated cost if 4 window replacements are needed: $800?
--> Broken blinds need to be replaced, 4 of them.
• Estimated cost: $200?
DOORS:
--> Front Door - I can't tell by the photo if the door is broken or if the window in it needs to be replaced and the door rehung and repainted. Assuming it needs to be replaced.
• Estimated cost: $400?
--> Interior Doors - Looks like a 2-3 are broken and need to be replaced.
• Estimated cost: $300?
--> Closet Doors - Can't tell if they're damaged or not. They don't look damaged from the photos, so I'm assuming they can be rehung.
• Estimated Cost: $200?
BATHTUBS, SINKS, AND FIXTURES:
--> Tubs & Surrounds and Sinks - These need a deep cleaning. "Scrubbing Bubbles" is a common cleaning solution that works on the level of dirt and grime I see in the pictures. Whatever doesn't clean by using Scrubbing Bubbles, a spray of bleach will solve. (There's no need to reseal the tubs and surrounds unless they are leaking due to cracks.)
• Estimated cost: See interior cleaning.
--> Tub and Sunk Fixtures - no need to replace these unless they are broken and no longer operable. Clean them. Recaulk them if needed.
• Estimated cost for recaulking: $25?
--> Missing medicine cabinet/mirror - replace.
Estimated cost: $200
FINAL INTERIOR CLEANING:
--> Clean bathrooms (Scrubbing Bubbles and Bleach should be part of this cleaning), sweep and mop floors, vacuum carpets, clean window blinds, damp wipe all molding to remove built-up dust, clean refrigerator and stove and any other appliances. Did I miss anything?
• Estimated cost - $300?
EXTERIOR YARDWORK:
--> Mow and blow to tidy it up (after cleaning out and throwing away all the debris).
• Estimated cost: $100?
