If you skip inspections your gonna end up either getting a fine or having to start fresh.

$8500 worth of work has been completed, removing carpet in upper bathroom and bedroom, painting all walls in the lower unit and removing all the carpet.

Replace the pieces that are broke with cedar shake side so it looks almost the same but leave it on, it takes paint great and would be a hassle to remove. 

If it's bad, then it may need to be washed and covered with paint.

So ask them, not just what it costs to paint this house, but the average 1,000 SQFT house.

Lower unit: new floors, texture and paint walls, new light and plumbing fixtures, new doorsUpper unit: making a larger kitchen with an open concept living dining and kitchen, new floors, rock, tape and paint throughout, new trim and doors, new cabinets and new bathroom New windows and siding, 12x12 decorative concrete patio for each unit, new concrete floor in garage, new driveway, removing elec baseboard heat and putting naturally gas forced air in both units.

I have started slab foundation repair, which has resulted damages to sewer and fresh water pipelines.

I have used LVMS Maintenance on several projects that included painting and general maintenance.  

Thats pretty much it besides painting the whole house and putting in LVT through the whole house.

You can buy unfinished cabinets and paint them whatever color you want.
