I've got a great supplier/installer here on the Coast.I'm not familiar with the Magee market, but a quick MLS search shows no active rentals on market in town.I've learned the hard way on the BRRRRs, if you go ahead and do everything (within a reasonable budget) Roof, HVAC, windows, kitchen bathrooms, you'll save yourself time/money down the road.Good Luck!
