You don't know if the tile contains asbestos until you have it tested.

I am sourcing/purchasing hardward, tiles, flooring, countertops and working with a friend/designer on that.

You should be able to cancel the contract due to non-performance...if they balk, threaten to hire an attorney or at least call one, you can usually get a phone consult for about $300 hr...Do not pay any significant money until work starts and even then, only pay as the work proceeds, i.e. when the framing is donem, pay for only that, when the tile is done, pay for that.

Hey Lucas, I would begin my search at one of the local suppliers like Sherwin Williams, or a Building Supply Yard.

Quote from @David Robertson: Kiara provided a great summary of the major phases of a rehab.  ...Here's an example of a typical rehab project that starts with the Exterior Work, I like the Gantt chart idea and wonder if there is a good reason for the order of:1. site cleaned right after exterior paint instead of way at end2. bathroom tiled before paint, now it can get damaged with paint3.how can you guarantee 2 weeks from cabinet measure to install?

High bids aren’t always dishonest, but they might include built-in markups or assume more labor than necessary, especially if the contractor plans to sub everything out.It also helps to build a materials budget spreadsheet based on what you typically buy and what it costs locally (from Home Depot, Lowe’s, or regional suppliers).

FOR SHOWER - I am open to tiling shower walls, but then it would be more cummbersome to maintain.
