New windows and doors, new kitchen, updated bathroom, new HVAC, new flooring and paint and finished the attic with flooring and heating/cooling.

I have never had to do a full gut on a home yet, mainly just flooring, paint, appliances, and interior work.

Even modest upgrades (kitchen, bathroom, fresh paint) can make a big difference without requiring a major financial investment.

New windows and doors, new kitchen, updated bathroom, new HVAC, new flooring and paint and finished the attic with flooring and heating/cooling.

When I hired the PM in April, we did a small redesign including light painting, replacing light fixtures, adding a few amenities and other small touches that I also included in this cost.

A fridge and microwave and then paint and put up some nice decorations. 

I am doing this completely remotely, which has been a massive pain/lesson learned (topic for another day).I signed a very high-level agreement (i.e. expectations simply say "drywall and paint") with him for drywall and paint work at my home for a total of $10KI have paid $5K as a down payment as well as ~$2K in materials over time, as neededThere have been multiple break-in's in the home, and he has done me favors of working with the police, and boarding things up.

Paint: Agreeable gray is king still don't let anyone tell you different!

I know the Director of the construction division of License and Inspection and if you are doing anything other than cosmetic painting and maintenance you will screw yourself if you do not obtain permits.It is a good suggestion to use contractors properly licensed in Philadelphia.
