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.

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.

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

My GC primed and painted over them a few times thinking they were just old, stubborn stains that needed extra product, but they kept coming back after each rainfall.I hired a water intrusion detection company to help me pinpoint the problem - they said the new roof seemed solid and that based on infrared and temperature readings, the moisture is coming in from the partition walls.

So you're the guy cleaning up the yard, trashing out the house, working the rehab or supervising the rehab, learn some of the work you could do without much time...paint, demo, basic repair, cleanup, etc.   

Other exclusions are roof replacement, anything requiring a permit, exterior painting if more than 5% of surface, "maintenance related to the garden, lawn, or landscaping," anything covered by any of the various required insurance policies, etc.
