I'm doing a whole home renovation like a fucking idiot. These contractors are all full of shit and bleed you dry. The "good" ones charge 3X what something should cost and work slowly. Should have just bought a new house

Its true but DIY you end up spending hundreds of hours to do a shit job. It doesn't pencil out. Honestly best to just get a new house built the way you want it and don't customize anything after

pretty weird how the lawyer dorks here always complain that trades work costs "way more than it should" but all the trades guys charge the same prices. there seems to be some kind of mysterious cartel that all tradesmen are part of where they all coordinate to set their pricing much higher than "what it should cost"

very odd case. really makes you think

cr. instead of paying a contractor, just buy a house that is fully update or if not, just get a credit for renovation from the buyer and then the project just pays for itself. dumb to pay for any of this scam shit out of pocket.

I had floor replacement last year in Florida placed porcelain everywhere. They lied about small stuff. Like at first said I would have to be out of my apt for no more than 2 weeks but it end up at least 3 weeks. They also failed to pick up some of the tile at home decor and I called home decor and homedecor did an audit and found that indeed they picked up only 1/2 and gave them the rest. But in the end the job was well done.

This. Every time something happens in my house I move. I don’t try to fix it. My dishwasher went so I moved.

It's the equivalent of "growing a beard" for homeowners. The bottom of a doorframe to a never-used balcony door rotted (I had a desk in front of the door) and water got into the wall so I just moved.

Yeah, don't pay some scammer contractor! Pay 6% to a Realtor(TM) instead!

get five estimates to learn different approaches and techniques, then DIY. bring in low cost labor to do heavy lifting.

for truly high end masonry, woodwork, etc. you're fucked and have to pay big money
