Tell me the size of the job, how many stories, and the year the home was built when you send the details. Homes built before 1978 can have lead-safety limits on painted surfaces.
Some projects need a specialist trade or a city permit. New wiring or circuits, new plumbing or gas lines, HVAC, roofing, structural work, and water or fire damage cleanup are outside my normal scope. I'll tell you up front if your project needs a different trade or additional review.

The right job for the right trade
