Also come from the construction industry on the material manufacturer side.

@James Harryton I have been filling up a building with high quality grade materials and amenities.

When you read that material and you have a question, it will then be a specific question that can be answered.

I would definitely accept a $3,000 quote to paint my whole interior, especially if that included the cost of materials.

I don't know what they are about, but what do they purport to teach you about Section 8 not easily disseminated from online material already available?

Are the people that give bad feedback on the reviews actually the lazy ones who sort of half commit themselves, put half *** effort in studying the material and submit half cocked deals to Jerrys buying team only to be rejected and when they dont make any money in 30-90 days just get angry and decide they will give a bad testimony on rip off report?

As an investment property owner, this means less maintenance and fewer unexpected expenses from storm related damage, often resulting in more affordable insurance premiums, less wear & tear on mechanical equipment, roofing materials or exterior surfaces.

As you do this more often, you'll be able to keep a spreadsheet of per square foot prices for materials and labor to get things done and you'll be able to estimate this yourself.

We can transmit electricity reasonably efficiently, and then we can transport actual material (ie: water or natural gas) reasonably efficiently. 

For a lot of things you can just look up material costs and assume the same for labor. 50% material and 50% labor holds roughly true for the entire project, at least for me here in Milwaukee, your labor cost will probably be higher in the Bay Area.100-125k spread would be tight, even for me here in Milwaukee.
