One call to a plumber or electrician and you're basically at budget for the entire year.

I suppose the silver lining is that a wholesaler can really benefit from building a reputation for integrity.

What if the same broker had stellar local reputation, was an expert in budget home repairs and home staging for sale or rent?

Luckily, we knew a plumber and were able to install a sump pump system that drained out to the alley (a ton of hard work - digging a 3 ft deep trench 50 yards in the classic baltimore rocky soil).

Only specialty trades (electrician, plumber, HVAC, etc.) are required to be licensed.Are you looking for someone to price the work?

Actually I should have said a reputable or trusted realtor or two or three.

Same is true of a light fixture, faucet, toilet, flooring, paint, etc.Additionally, contract services such as mowing, electrician visit, plumber visit - all cost the same regardless of the rent topline.

Nothing but problems, and none of my plumber buddies know how to work on it.

@Nefertari McClarity Fasttrack remodeling has an excellent reputation for both quality and speed.

keep looking. i'd connect with some of the reputable guys from farther down South.
