Trim are full of lead paint.

Or you always get the interior paint estimate close but exterior is 20% over what it could have been because more times than not there is some rotted trim that needs replaced and primed that couldn't be seen in advance.I put an overage percentage in my calculations but it is global.

Totally possible.If you do a street view of the address returned by the city parcel search you can see that this property not only matches the photos of the building where the police were entering, but also has a garage on the property with the same trim and design as the one taped off by police Just my two cents.

Remove trim first, the demo the wall.

House needs entire interior paint plus all ground level trim work, doors and closets need repair/repaint. (5,000 ?)

yeah, I did nothing to it, trimmed some grass in the backyard, but that's all.

Some of it will be a judgment call- what grade of flooring to get, whether to have downspouts re-routed, trees trimmed, etc.- my plan is to do all the “musts” first and leave the more subjective stuff to the end.

Nice way to pay for new trim and a paint job!

My quote was 9500 for everything wall to wall ceiling to floor and trim.

As long as they are close in color shade , I then filter and  mix them up in a 35 gal plastic barrel which has a cut-off valve in the bottom to fill up the 5 gal buckets.By doing this, I pay average $6-$8/gal - The only thing I buy at the store is gloss / semi gloss white trim paint.
