Hello folks in the BP Davis community.I have a SFR that was our prior residence in Davis CA that has been rented out for 8 yrs and now we plan on selling after lease runs out this June.We need a good design build firm or contractor we can work with to run the project as we live out of state (Vancouver WA) and spruce it up with light rehab as much of the house is untouched since built in 2003.We are definitely NOT doing crazy expensive upgrades but will do a moderate upgrade so that we can max the value add/ROI that's worthy of the  good neighborhood this house sits in (Wildhorse). esp as we transition from current renters to selling to end user (eg likely family).Does anyone have good trusted contractor or design build firm they can vouch for that does well executed remodels on time, on budget?

I've tried the usual approaches, including "pay for the place you live before you pay to light the place you live" with no success. 

Things such as;keeping hand sanitizer stocked in multiple locations in the unitSanitizing common touch points such as door knobs, light switches, shower knobs, etc.Keeping hand soap stocked at sink locations....And there are many more hereI think if you're proactive in things like these, when other owners may not be, it will make you're listing look all that much better.All the best!!

If the tenant calls in to have an apartment light on a 15 ft vaulted ceiling would they charge you $245 to change the bulb? 

I just find out and since my credit is not tha good my light bulb whent on.

Needs work but new light floors, paint all that black woodwork to white, privacy fence etc and she could shine.  

Tell the sellers agent to keep your number handy for when their client sees the light and is willing to be reasonable. 

Please shed some light on its pros and cons.Thanks, as always!
