And please try to clear your mind and really listen to what I am trying to say here... seriously.If you are wiring a house and you wire a switch and light fixture.

If possible meet for a cup of coffee (virtual if you can't meet in person). 

Obviously new fixtures, cabinets, flooring and lighting is a must as is removing the popcorn ceiling if you can.We always start with a concept and walking the actual property, it tends to speak to us and we can and often do make changes. 

We original got an estimate from him to do a basic interior renovation (paint, trim touch ups, replace light fixtures, trim work, and refinish floors - no major construction).

Consider how you will use each room and ensure that the layout, storage solutions, and fixtures meet your specific needs.

BTW, congratulations on a game 1 victory in the Stanley Cup last night.

He does most of the work, but he does not mess with electrical wiring (hanging fixtures ifs okay) and he may not do major plumbing work.

It works for some but just not my cup of tea.  

Considering we are building a home and have another rental plus we can afford to make the $1200 mortgage in house that's upside down with tenants but would get a little tight without tenants.Thanks for tip on profit - certainly know we wouldn't profit $500 monthly - was just a dollar figure threw out we would gross before fixtures and possible vacancies.

I did purchase my own kitchen cabinets, kitchen sink, quartz countertops, bathroom vanities, the tile for the bathrooms and light fixtures for all the rooms.
