An update. Delaney's finally got back to us with a bid after a month. The bid was fairly reasonable and the estimator told us we could add and take off any item we wanted. He spent a long time with us and remeasured everything. We added a few items and removed two. One was hanging three fans and two lights, which we were to supply. They wanted $1000 in labor so we decided to do it ourselves. The other item was removing the popcorn ceiling. We decided it did not look bad with it and all the other condos had it still. Unfortunately, even though he said that would be fine, taking it out of the bid did us in. He got back to us and told us the job was not big enough for them to do. As well it was too far to drive the 45 minutes to us. So now we are contracting the flooring of the entire condo to a flooring store, the painting to a painter, the bathroom remodel we will get someone else hopefully and we still need someone to replace the windows. It is a shame that it did not work out. It is harder for us because we live 3 hours away currently and meeting with all of these people take a lot of trips. We are finding many contractors do not want a job that is not huge, 50k and up range. And there is plenty of work for them right now. We have had a slew of folk never call us back. That may come back to haunt them when times get a little tougher. Oh well read more
