@Sharron Morrow Hi Sharron, I suggest a certified home inspector to walk thru the property aside from the contractor. From there you can compare and contrast actual necessary work to be done. Just having the contractor doubling as the inspector is a conflict of interest. Unless you know and trust this person, it’s a good chance he’ll add things that aren’t needed just to increase his bid. And if you aren’t familiar w/ home remodeling/construction, using a certified inspector you can trust can be extremely helpful.
