I am into my first rehab and am wondering at what point to have the painter come in. Do I have the tile on walls in baths and floors done first?
Thanks
i look at alot of pre-construction spec homes and see the paint sprayed everywhere first (walls, ceilings, etc), then the tile is laid out. Not sure if this is correct everywhere, but that is what I see around me.
In a remodel job or new construction painting is usually done before the tile or any kind of flooring goes in, afterwards there is always a little touch up painting.
Good Luck,
Robert
I would tile first, especially if it only floor tile. Tile setters can "butter" the back of the wall tile, whether it be tile base or the last course of wall tile. Floor tile will almost always have some type of base afterward that will cover anything that might get on the wall. Painters (except for lady gray) will be able to come back and touch up (especially if you negociate this before you give a deposit but after they have given a price). If they are not willing to touch up, then make sure they leave you a gallon of paint. Hope this helps.
I agree. The price sounds reasonable. Speaking as a contractor who just started work on my first rehab property....I would have to buy the windows and that would cost me around $150 each plus tax and I would charge at least $125 each to install and wrap exterior. The other charges seem to be in line as well. Good luck.
Send those guys down here to NC.......we have nice wx (laugh).........I can keep them busy for that price.
It sounds like a good deal.............just get everything in writting and find out how the manufacturer and contractor will deal with any problems down the road.
Can you carry back a note for $10K? I was in a similar situation a few years ago and the loan broker thought this might work. Another possibility is to lease option it to them until they pass one year post-bankruptcy and could qualify for a 100% loan. Keep in mind that this could be a rocky road collecting lease payments.

Have the walls painted first.....then you tile afterwards.

Floors last, paint second to last thing done
I always use the tops down rule:
1. Once repairs are done, paint ceilings and install lighting fixtures.
2. Paint walls and trim
3. Install flooring
To work backwards from the quote of $6280
$280 is Door Wrapping
$800 is gutters
$350 is the foam in the frame
=$4850 or $242/window
The company is Paramount - they own a factory and produce their own windows.
