Hello,

I just finished hanging drywall in my flip, and I need someone to do the mudding and taping. It's a small 625 sq foot house with 3 rooms. Does anyone know contractors in the St. Louis, MO region who could do this? Thans.

Hello,

I am rehabbing a house and doing a lot of the work myself. I keep coming across situations where I need an expert who knows local codes so they can tell me what I need to do and then I can do it. I don't know if this is a structural engineer, architect, etc. My inspector tells me he's not there to tell me how to do it, he's just there to make sure I do it right. The city building permit office is hard to get ahold of and they seem annoyed if I ask too many questions (which I get). Who would you recommend I consult with?

Quote from @Jose Jacob:

I do several fix&Flips.  I take Builders risk for 6 months which will cover the renovation time. Once the renovation is complete, I take a vacant Policy.  Builders risk will not cover vacant houses.  Make sure you have the right coverage.  Insurance companies will try their best not to fulfill claims by looking for loopholes.  So it is very crucial to have a right coverage.  Good Luck


 When you say Builders Risk, what is the breakdown? eg, 300K liability, 20K theft, 200K dwelling, etc.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff:

I've used Behr Marquee for everything. Ever since a competitors sales Rep told me on the side that it was the best and their pigment count was through the roof...I have never been disappointed!

And if you have to think about price when we're talking about $30 vs $40, then you really need to rethink your priorities (nothing personal :-)

Yes Behr Marquee is up to $49 a gallon but you will never look back...you want a paint that will (usually) get one coat coverage. and will wear like iron.....


 I'm more concerned about $49 vs $89 :)

Hello, What kind of insurance do I need for my property while I am renovating it? I will not be living there and there are no other occupants. Is there a certain level of insurance  (liability only) or add-ons I should concern myself with? What do you guys get for basic 'cover-my-***' insurance coverage?

You're going to get at least 1000 different opinions and it still always depends.   

I'm still a reader of SW PPC so they have my heart.  


 Is the premium price worth it though?

Thanks for the thorough list. I have heard of River City. I'll check out the others as well.

I've gone down the rabbit hole of paint products. My head is swirling. What brand and level/formulation/line of paint do you guys use of that brand for your interiors and why? Thanks.

Hello St Louis flippers. Where do you buy your appliances? What are trends you’re noticing in type, style, color, etc?
