I have 4 guys that work for me full time and do most of my repetitive tasks such as but not limited to: painting, cabinets, roofing, siding, yard work, windows, tile, carpet, light fixtures, and light plumbing.

I did tile, grout, refinished and installed cabinets, installed fixtures, GFI outlets, drywall, paint replaced rotted wood, and removed old caulking and put new caulking.

BTW, that market looks very soft to me.It's a 3100 +/- square foot, 4/3/2, stucco with a tile roof.

For example, new plumbing and fixtures, electrical wiring, appliances (including AC units), install tile wherever feasible to reduce the replacement cost of carpeting, make lighting fixtures and locks generic to reduce replacement costs.

My folks had a rental and I helped them do some rehabbing, things like plumbing, paint, putting up sheet rock, tiling, adding bathroom fixtures, and other stuff like that.

so now I paint, customize, fix counters, cabinets, tubs, and tile.

With tile surround (or a full shower, even fiberglass) about $375.

I plan on eventually putting in ceramic tiles to raise the value, but for now while living it it.

I alwyays like putting ceramic tile in lieu of linoleum as I thought it looked "richer" in lower and middle class houses.Remember the higher returrns, and greater headaches are in the lower prices.
