On the surface it apparently shows what you defined, however when you get to it, what matters is Full approval.

I wire-brushed the surface, painted again and adjusted the sprinklers.  

The tree is actually a awesome, and I would NEVER want to cut it down based on what I see above the surface. 

My painter finished caulking a few days ago the puttied the small holes and small surface cracks before he painted.

Sometimes it takes many years to get to this point, with a lot of hard work to accomplish it.I have many friends that have on the surface look successful.  

Do a bead on the back and spread it out to cover the entire back surface with a chip brush.

Personally, on the surface, the whole thing sounds complicated and convoluted, and that usually smells of a scam. 

We had to kilz all surfaces twice clean ducts and resurface the tubs and countertops.  

I'd say $100/sf for a gut rehab, including new electrical and plumbing and roofing, some wall moving, maybe 50% new drywall throughout, new mechanicals, and all surfaces was a good estimate in 2018/19 for a 1950/60 era in San Diego IF you're GCing yourself and using licensed guys for the key trades. 

Doing my best to keep it somewhat surface level!
