$1,250 a week will get you 2 workers and the contractor overseeing the project.For the skill intensive ones my contractor knows everyone in town and will pick the most cost-efficient, reliable one.Flooring is all laminate hardwood, except the kitchen and bathroom, we've already purchased it for $2.39.

When I originally advertised this property, I advertised it as an efficiency with/a small room that can be used as a small bedreoom/den...due to the size of the room (the porch was enclosed to create the room).

BTW, it costs $40 bucks a month...This seems more cost efficient & would provide better leads than a source like Melissa Data or ListSource.
