Quote from @Hazel Anderson: Hello, bigger pockets pros, We have a rental property in Columbus and we are looking for a contractor who can replace the existing basement window with a standard sized window.

In the absence of any lead testing or report on the exterior windows, what do I do?

Learning how to properly evaluate a rehab budget is imperative to your success and there are many books and posts on this topic of how to do it - I have posted many on this topic in the past.Don't forget on your list windows/doors, trims (baseboards and door casings), waterproofing/protecting floor of garage, potential need to frame/or upgrade farming of exterior walls of garage (many garages have stem walls) and the flooring is often sloped to garage door so leveling the floor may be necessary.

(Damn, those windows.)
