On a typical move-out/move-in job I had my "standard" tool box plus a materials box containing;the standard paint color I used for rentals-Navajo White, a bunch of paint stirring sticks (for sheetrock repair more than stirring paint), a couple of pieces of sheetrock 2' X 2', Elmer's glue, sheetrock screws, switch plates, a couple of outlets and switches, scrubbing stuff and chemicals, DOORSTOPS, light bulbs, mineral spirits and linseed oil and 000 steel wool for touching up stained wood, paper towels, TOILET PAPER, rags, paint brushes, SMALL LADDER, joint compound.Once you've gone through every room doing the "touch ups" you'll have a good idea if you need to come back with your 8' and extension ladders, paint rollers and 5 gallon can of paint and drop clothes.

FYI, the later two are about 2 hours drive, and clothing optional.

If you have someone that will be doing any sort of prep work or demo ahead of the rehab, perhaps they could be onsite for you if needed.In other cases, I have reached out to Salvation Army - they will take clothes in decent shape and furniture as well - I have moved a lot of couches and such that way. 

I don't use berber because if they drip dry clothes or such on berber...it stains (even if there's no pet) and will clean up, but when it dries the original stains will ALWAYS be there.

So if I hire out do clothe contractors usually let other people help?

My friend and partner did this for several years.It has it's pros and cons.ConsA lot of the same issues as a regular roommate.Dirty dishes, clothes, not wanting to clean the house.Pro, the rental agreement is a little more loose.  

They will smoke indoor or bring the smoke smell into the unit on their clothing and other things.  

Even if I paint myself the apartment would take 2 5 gallon buckets at 60 apiece.That doesn't include drop cloth,rollers,tape,buying ceiling paint etc.If the color you are going over is real dark you will need primer and most likely have to patch some walls and do some sanding before painting.2 stoves and 1 fridge 500??

Painting is an easy fix, put on the old clothes an get busy.

That's everything, housing, food, clothing, transportation.
