I'm personally having a really hard time finding someone reliable in this hot contractor market who will not blatantly overcharge out the wazoo to take on anything other than a full remodel. 

They'll overcharge because it's more likely the person "can afford it" and less likely they'll even notice or care.

Absolutely nothing -- maybe the seller doesn't advertise, maybe they overcharge, maybe they don't fix anything, or maybe they left it vacant for two months to do a bunch of rehab work.

Contractor: Finding contractors that don't cut corners and overcharge is EXTREMELY difficult.

I started out by renovating or building for my businesses rather than pay someone else to overcharge me!

It helps you gauge whether the tradesmen you hire are doing a good job or missing details or overcharging or goofing off.

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. 

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.

@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, just because SOME TK's overcharge, or don't have their @#$% together, does not mean that the entire industry is bad.
