There’s usually many phases to construction, so I’ll ask for payment upon completion of each phase such as painting walls, drywall installation etc, or near the end of the week when I need to pay guys, but my work stays ahead of the customer’s payments.

"My question is : When should we consider a gut vs cosmetic rehab"This is something I wonder about often as well and it seems like many times when I say, "this is a gut" the investor comes back saying "we're just going to paint" and when I say "it just needs some updating" the investor declares "to the studs!"

Then when they move out I need to replace all of the flooring and paint, costing me ~$3,000.

I’m sorry I feel like I misspoke somewhere along the line because the picture you painted is not at all I how conduct myself!

New kitchen, bathrooms and paint.

Painting probably same thing based on per sqft and stuff like trim flat rate.As you get up into things like kitchens or bathrooms etc you should be able to ball park a range based on size...

-Located near 2 major hospitals and 3 Universities -Original Rehab included 100% new bathroom, 100% new plumbing in the house, electrical updates, all new flooring, all new paint, and the addition of one new wall to create a "true" 3rd BR.

I recommend calling Steve Dawson for painting and gutters.The forum rules prevented me from posting the phone number, but if you send me a message i'll give it to you.

We are looking for handyman that's skilled in the areas of construction and know how to manage and be responsible for  area of drywall, painting, small plumbing, small electric, small roofing repairs and fixture installation.

That will be close to 15K (includes new trim boards and painting).Thank you for your comment.
