Lipstick fix (fresh paint, carpet cleaning and minor landscaping) $5 per sqft Minor gut (replace carpet, repair a window, replace a door, fresh paint, install new appliances, repair a section of fencing) $10 per sqftMajor gut (remodel kitchen, bath, major cap ex IE roof, furance, ac repair/replace, fresh paint, new carpet) $20-$30 per sqft.Again if you are not going to do the job yourself, I would suggest to at least be the general contractor yourself.

For example, the type of fence they installed isn't allowed as per our city ordinance so it needs ripped down.

No offence intended.

Hi Calvin,I'm sure you know certain tenants are going to "Entertain" guests overnight (none of our business).There will also be ones who will secretly sublet rooms (couches) to gain extra cash (probably a bootable offence).You may also find ones who shack-up after the lease (run a background and etc...).

You will have to decide if you are willing to make short term sacrifices such as going on vacations when your friends do, buying new car if an older one will suffice, getting pets ( no offence if you have pets).

It looks like the neighbors have that style of fence elsewhere on their property whereas we do not so it makes me believe it is their fence.

I'm thinking of asking neighbor to split cost of fence since they want it replaced.  

I have forced hot water for heat and the high efficiency boiler in my basement (fairly new) has been failing and needs to be fixed before the coming heating season.I also have concrete pillars that I need to repair or replace in front of my house before the ground freezes ( a car took them out, and I'd like that protection again since my house seems to have a bullseye on it....need some kind of fencing/barrier system ASAP.THanks in advance for suggestions!

Ended up putting up 587 feet of fence to appeal to pet owners.
