And honestly by me being a landlord and using contractors for work on my multifamily properties over the last 3 years I now I have a decent stable of specialist (electrical, plumbing, painters, etc) where I can sub everything out myself.

If it is just cosmetic, then you could just use painter's caulk, that would be a quick fix.

I am doing a new kitchen floor myself and have 2 painters doing 2 of the other rooms at the same time.  

For instance, I have a few connection on my own such as a concrete guy and a painter who I think would be cheaper than using the GC's guys for.  

Our painter uses a premium flat paint from Ferrell Calhoun.

Also, when you tour, take a simple painters mask with you, so that you do not breathe in any possible mold, contaminants inside, again, ask me how I know!

This was a 6 week project with my small crew. 35 gallons of paint and copious amounts of painters caulk really make the difference!

i.e. a painter spills a bucket of paint on your new wood floor that seeps in between?

If rehab and sale, and owned a short period of time, it's completely possible they had no idea there were issues, paid the painter to paint something, and after some time the issue came about.I had a house I bought in Nov. all winter it had no issues.

Why pay for licensed, insured painters and flooring contractors when $10 or $12 an hour guys can do the "same thing".
