I am just not sure how it will look after the roofers install metal coping etc there, or they would be careful about "aesthetic" details :)Exterior/wood is also deteriorating, but I guess a painter can scrape the old paint and caulk for waterproofing.

Preventive Tips:     - Install drain screens to catch debris

Investors / Flippers - do you install wireless security systems at your projects during/after construction?

The way that you 'really' want to do all of this is load everything into a PostgreSQL install, load the county into its own table (and the monthly updated county lists) and run the JOINS in PostgreSQL against any new list.

Improper installation of the roof, lack of flashing, lack of gutters, blocked gutters, siding missing - those are just a sampling of other causes of leaks.

Most of the items will also have a tag for installation costs.

Last month, I sold a contract and I got 5k cash plus the buyer owns a large asphalt company, so as part of the deal, he is installing a regulation size tennis court at my home.

I just read another topic about finding good contractors and being wary of people asking for money up front.I'm about to order around 30-40 ft of granite countertop with install and the guy says he will need a 50% deposit with a quoted price of around 2k.I just wanted to know if it's normal for them to ask for such a large deposit before they begin work (e.g. getting the slab for fabrication etc..)

It is easy and quick to install AND maintain.
