Selecting your list and trimming it nicely, is 50% of the battle. 

Trim the interior attic entry 2. install vinyl soffit piece that is missing outside, where the AC is.3.

John Kesner I subbed out all interior painting and drywall, electrical, most plumbing, Windows, trim, wood floor, sod, landscaping, tub refinish, tree trimming, tuck pointing, counter tops, roof and flashing repair, and final clean.

And here is a rough breakdown of the repairs (I noted the items where we supplied the labor):Demo: $500Attic finishing (rough carpentry, insulation, drywall, trim): $4,500Plumbing (move bath vanity; new fixtures in bath & kitchen): $1,050Electric (move range outlet; remove old fuses; replace all switches, outlets & fixtures): $750Wallpaper removal & paint throughout (material cost only - our labor): $600Kitchen cabinetry & countertops (replaced w/ used cabs from Craigslist & reclaimed soapstone counters; material cost only - our labor): $850Appliances (new refrigerator; used range): $500Interior doors & hardware: $500Flooring (vinyl floors in attic & kitchen; material cost only - our labor): $1,500Windows: $1,600Asbestos duct removal: $500Misc. carpentry (trim repair; closet shelving, etc; material cost only - our labor): $300Exterior work (gravel; landscaping; paint; material cost only - our labor): $350Utilities: $200Misc: $500TOTAL: $14,200

For example the trim paint is peeling on my garage.

This property should never go for $120 sqft. especially considering the trim level, no garage, etc. but then again I'm learning.

Is there anyone who could recommend local subcontractors for tile, sheetrock, painting and trim work?

We have a gardener/landscaper at our 8-plex every two weeks to mow, edge and trim.

Mask off the trim and spray away

For my typical 2-story, 1500 square foot traditional houses, I generally pay about $2200 for minor prep and painting of walls/ceiling/trim."
