hey Danielle I am really late on this post, I am a drywall salesman I deal or know a good chuck of installers in town (I better since I've been doing it for 9 years) On future projects I would be more then happy to give you a couple of contacts to supply labor.

That's ridiculous and obviously he/she doesn't know how to install a header beam.

It also helps to have an unbiased building/energy consultant (ahem, like me) rather than individual HVAC installers or contractors (who are trying to milk as much $ from you as possible) to help prioritize energy renovations.

If you give a product or service to someone on installment payments or any sort of deferred payment system, then it's some sort of loan.

But then she snapped me back to reality, and said that she wanted to pay for the improvements AND the installation!  

Behind that trend setting refrigerator installation is another partial wall, right inside the front door. 

Here is the description of work.tenant has moved out, please change locks and get make ready estimate We have a estimate that come in at 5743.67 and included material and labor Replace lock and secured unit Remove garbage leftover in the unit by prior tenant Remove nail and decal from wall and ceiling Prep , patch, and finish large hole in the living room , stairs case and bedroom walls Prep and paint entire unit Remove and replace damage and stained carpet on the living room, dining room, 3 bedrooms , hallway and stairs tread Replace broken outlet,switch and plate cover install missing carbon monoxide and smoker detector Repair kitchen cabinet clean entire unit Note: this estimate those not include a C/O ,section 8 or lead swipe and all unforeseen , alteration and deviation from above specifications involving extra costs will be executed only upon written orders, and will become an extra charge.

I am fairly handy, and I can install cabinets, countertops, toilets, replace windows and doors, etc.

Also install gutters.

Let's see - $7K in damage done by a tenant in one unit, others had a roof repair, a floor replacement, a new shower/tub liner installation/spackle/paint job, insulation in the basement, 2 dryer repairs, a door replacement, a bathtub/shower refinishing, and a 3 month vacancy....I'm sure there was more, but I've chosen to block it out ;)All properties except 1 were cash flowing, but so much outflow in one year was a disaster.
