You're overcharged first and reimbursed later.

Glad to pay for their time and expertise but don't want to get over-charged either.

From there, I had extra time and made some mistakes trusting sub contractors with the demo, my electrician took forever and overcharged for the majority of items done.

Way overcharged there unless they literally left entire house full of stuff and walked out with the shirts on their back.I have hauled away well over 1,000 pounds of stuff for maybe $150, it was renting the u-haul and dump fee.

I was still super skeptical, not because the number didn't add up, not because I don't believe we're capable, and not because I was too busy.I was deathly afraid of being someone who profited off of other people by over charging for housing.

If you are not local, they can over charge you quite a bit.You are probably better off hiring a kitchen contractor for demo and kitchen install.

Much more than that in the beginning stages and you might be getting over charged.

@Jasmine Wevers As one of the mentors who has worked for numerous nationwide seminar companies who sell these coaching, mentoring and training/education packages for over 20 years I can tell you that I personally think they are overcharging everyone.

But instead of making their money AFTER they take the risk of doing the repairs at their costs and then selling the house hoping there is something leftover, they overcharge the seller for the repairs and make their margin on the spread between what they charge the seller and what they actually do it for. 

When they finally did refund me it was for far less than was overcharged.
