Wood is a better insulator than vinyl so other then a more updated look and maybe easier to open windows I think I may follow suit with what you're doing and just keep the storm windows on and touch up the interior wood windows.

I should have been more specific - only two bedrooms (250 SF) of flooring (cheaper carpet) was needed, and paint only as touch-ups and maybe one room (I'd do that myself when I cleaned up a few other things on a Saturday).

I'm trying to put a hit list of must-meet/recommended general contractors.Ideally, these GCs would have experience working with investors, are willing to do anything from cosmetic/touch-up work to a full gut rehab (i.e. walls, tiles, bathrooms, kitchen, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing etc.), and therefore would be satisfied working projects from $1,000 to $50,000.I scoured BP, Google, Houzz, and Buildzoom for reviews, ratings and license checks and shortlisted: Before & After BuildersSCC Residential Design & ConstructionThe Dave Moore CompaniesCapital ConstructionDan Caldwell HomesG&G Construction SolutionsR&E RemodelingVollmer ConstructionAtoZ Construction SolutionsThe list is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive but these contractors fit my criteria and have solid reviews.

Should I hire my own kids to work for me?

But starting at 8, you can task your child with stuffing envelopes, taking out the office trash, vacuuming floors or even doing door hangers.At age 12, they could do all of the above plus, perhaps, begin mowing lawns at rental properties, cleaning rentals for turnover, perhaps touch up painting.At age 16, they can then answer phones, do some computer work, do some more advanced maintenance and repairs, do bank runs, supply shopping, etc.When my son was about 5 through 9, I paid him $5/hour to stuff envelopes.
