Hi,We own a few single-family properties in the Phoenix area and they are all managed by the same property manager for many years now.Since these houses aged a little bit and have normal wear and tear it's time to make some larger repairs, such as replacing rotted siding panels, fascia/soffit boards,  support columns in the patio, fixture replacements etc...For years our property manager pretty much handled all of this, but it seems to me that the quotes we've been getting recently are overblown.

Furthermore, bad installation of siding seems to be more common than not and results in damage to the structure over time from water and moisture infiltration. the best part is, you don't know it until it's beyond a simple fix because all that lovely plastic siding is hiding telltale indications of problems.

Sam, you can buy the white or yellow corrugated plastic signs that investors write "We Buy Houses" or "We Buy Ugly Houses" on.

A few weeks ago the masons were there laying the rock/brick veneerThen last week the concrete guys showed up to pour the driveways and patio...About 15 years ago I sold one of my businesses.

If you use only what comes in most flange bolt packages, the bolt is connected to the flange with nothing more than a plastic retainer washer.

Garbage disposal, microwave, internet, pool, patio table, window blinds,..... anything that could break or become a hassle.

I have to share this:At a garage sale in Florida this year I found a Carleton Sheets program (CDs, Videos, Books) all in the orginal packaging with the plastic still wrapped around it.

However, I have minor construction experience via diy projects my family would do around the house (finished the basement, backyard patio and fireplace, bball court, stone walls etc.).

Exactly who in that scenario is complaining about the use of a plastic sign?

Under the mulch is plastic.
