I was reminded of that this weekend while asking some questions on a pro painting forum!

Don't forget paint and carpets, just to make it look nice to sell - theres another 5k.

New roof, siding, paint, brand new carpets, kitchen appliances, bathroom finishes, and more.

So far he has replaced the address numbers for both sides, repainted the threshold, re-caulked around the bath tub, painted around the entrance, and has now paid someone to mow the lawn when it is taken care of by someone else, he said it was looking shabby.My question is am I in any trouble with them doing all of this work?

While I'm by no means a professional contractor I have done plumbing, framing, painting, re-screening and just about any home maintenance you could throw at me.

I could see coming out and painting for a weekend pretty easily.So any advice on finding good contractors?

Well, they marketed well enough to get their signs ripped down, for whatever that's worth.I could also stand naked in the street with a phone number written across my *** in body paint - just because it gets attention doesn't mean it's good (or legal) marketing.

I think you have to request a Lead based paint screen.

Make ready expenses are estimated at around $1000 (touch up paint, carpet/carpet cleaning, landscaping, etc.).

Also she left it in pretty good shape it just needs some minor paint touch-ups.
