My kitchen is about 10×10 and i live in Oregon. What would be a good bid for labor to install the following from a license contractor?
-remove and install new cabinets, back-splash, counter-top, sink, and built in microwave hood. Open up the bearing wall that separate the living room (picture window) and put in breakfast nook around there. Not doing any new plumbing, electrical or moving anything major. Thanks for your input.

I am a general contractor and want to know what people want from their general contractor when they award the job to them. I want to set both mine and my client’s expectations right and shine at the end of the job. Your comments are appreciated.

I have an unfinished basement with a concrete floor that measures 36′ X 24′. I removed all the old vinyl tile, and I’m left with adhesive residue. There’s also a small area where the concrete needs to be ground down and patched. I have neither the time nor the desire to do all the work to prepare the floor for epoxy paint. How much would a handyman charge for this in the suburban Detroit area? How long would it take? What all needs to be done?

I am an assistant to a general contractor and he has put me in charge of finding new business. So my question is if we wanted to get involved with renovating or remodeling foreclosed homes that the banks own, how would we go about doing that?

Would you like to be…. a Handy Man

I am looking to paint my 1600 sq. ft house in Las Vegas. I am in the Centennial Hills area (if it matters based on location). I have a handyman that will do it, but I don’t want to pay too much. What would the going rate be? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!
ETA: It is a single story home with 8 foot ceilings throughout. I am looking to paint the interior.

The medicine cabinets and shelves are a lovely maple wood construction. They are almost new and are very well made. So we want to keep them but I’m not sure what color of tile will look good with them.

Any one who supplies a link to color samples is more likely to win this one. Thanks in advance!

i started a business where i can design any numbers of projects with input from the client, so they can see there remodeling project before it begins. it could potentialy save thousands of dollars
it will be done in autoCAD it can be used for cost estimating and approved drawing for HOA’s, county, city building codes.
