Someone I know also told me a trick to finding good contractors: Go to the local specialty supply houses like plumbing, electrical, etc. 

.- living room has plumbing for a wet bar so we have a PVC pipe sticking a foot out of the wall into nothing.

The specialists come into place when the general inspector finds an issue to be corrected (i.e. plumbing, roof, electrical, etc.). 

I have already identified some niche properties, but wanted to know what to look for as far as newer roofing, plumbing, HVAC etc.

I would also want an extensive plumbing inspection and a camera sewer inspection done.

Toilets are off, plumbing is out, dry all is open in some areas, mostly cosmetic.

@John Warren @Lawrence BarnesHe’s saying it’s new construction so Lawrence unless you’re an accomplished builder yourself who knows every piece of the scope of work - framing standard for FL wind ratings, when you need a CMU structure, termite treatments, plumbing slope and can check it, electrical wiring code and can check it, have a huge network of subcontractors to get the job done on time and on budget, etc.

Remodeled: upstairs unit with new appliances, paint, complete bathroom remodel, fixed plumbing, refinished flooring.

Older houses aren't necessarily a problem unless the mechanicals are old - cast iron plumbing, knob and tube electric -- those are the things that will cost money.

Hi All, my question is I have a contract on selling a home of which I had to complete many things like a new roof, HVAC, and plumbing.
