I'm worried that the carpeting, which was new, will now need to be replaced, but of course I will not put in carpeting again, I will likely do tile or laminate wood.

He manages the electricians, plumbing, tile guys, drywall, you name it.

My partner will buy the material:-Tile work-Install kitchen - install vanities in the bathrooms - install graniteMy usual guy is very busy and can't take more work, my back up guy did not do the best job I am looking for someone inexpensive (my partner will supervise him) that has a decent experience with jobs above. 

The property in question is a SFH, needing new flooring as a major repair and also several minor repairs such as hardware, cracked tiling.

Minor diy work with little contracting like adding a wall to make a 4th room (old owners took the wall down a long time ago), restaining cabinets, backsplash, flooring, paint walls, tile, crown molding, add tub to half bath by knocking out closet, fixing up the master bedroom en suite, etc.

I was absolutely blown away at the thousands upon thousands of colour choices that one has, but was relieved when I finally managed to match my tile colour with a wall and cabnet paint.I am pretty excited to see how this beautiful kitchen island will fit into the overall design, and am really chuffed as to how this has come out.

@Tomer Ravid the previous landlord was charging $525/month in an area where market rent 5 years ago was $850/mnth for a similar apartment (2 bed 1 bath).What I did was put in over 100 hours of landscaping work, upgraded the appliances, upgraded the kitchens and baths (all as cheaply as possible, for example, I painted pink tile white, used thermoplastic panels and liquid nailed them over the old tile backsplash, laid down new vinyl floors over the old nasty vinyl, etc) and was able to take very nice pictures and market the property very well.I also allow dogs, so that is a huge competitive advantage in the area.

@Garrett Beecher I am redoing the tile in the bathroom and kitchen, new sinks, repainting, possibly new carpet, and patching up some walls.

All of them have rather old, outdated kitchens - chipped, broken linoleum tile, 70's style cabinets with minimal storage space, and older appliances.

And it is not the material, labor, mark up cost but rather how much will it cost for flooring, painting, etc. to get put into place.For those buying materials for their contractors, I bet they have years of experience under their belts before doing business this way.Example: how much ceramic tile do you buy for a 10'x11.5' room?
