So you may need to shop around to find someone who will do it quicker than that.

I would always tell them call me B4 you make a repair so I can at least have the choice of shopping the work out.

A shopping mall, hotel, or 400-unit student housing development fits the bill; a suburban SFR rented out to a family of four does not.

How much more do I have to pay for contractors and materials (on a rehab) because I can't easily shop around.Ok, there are many different ways to deal with this, I assume you invest in newer buildings?

Shop around.

Rather, you're just shopping around for your first rental property. 

The techs will be going back to their shop to construct the duct work needed for the 2 installs and will be back early next week to continue working.

If you would like to get together for a cup of coffee and talk shop let me know.
