[QUOTE="lOOKnGO, post: 16420311, member: 93465"] So much arm chair BS in here. Obviously most don't know what the **** they are talking about. Not one mention of construction loans, terms of contract, AIA contracts or retention. Been doing this for 40 years class A residential and commercial. Small jobs just aren't worth the aggravation. The job the op speaks of, is not a one day job done right. Let's say this was an older house built before 1978. It is illegal in all 50 states to do any such cutting without first doing lead testing. This must be done by someone certified to do so. I am certified. The work must also been done by someone certified. Once that is done before you even bid the job to see if you have to follow lead safe procedures. Even if testing is waived proper curtain containment of area is usually needed for demo and drywall/ plaster repair. Not to do so makes a dusty mess. Minimal three visits/days to do this job. First day. Set up 6 mil plastic curtains with double layers on floor. Demo and reframing to include drywall and flexible corner bead or prefabricated arch. Apply 20 min speed coat. Tear down curtain if in major corridor. Second day. Protect floor only skim coat. If good enough this will be the final coat. No dust should occur. Clean up Third day. Set up curtains and protect floor. Sand and finish tie in of base. Paint in curtain tent if possible. Clean up. Any electrical just adds more time or one more day usually, due to coordination. I work for people that understand this procedure and expect it. I'll ask before even visiting what they expect. Most people don't have any idea of the laws or the correct procedures, even for a small job like this. If you don't want to pay to do it right. DIY. Most contractors in the know, won't do such a job just because most homeowners don't want to pay what it costs to do it right. I only work for the smart customer and usually with their money. AIA is another matter, but believe me that all bidders add minimal 30 percent to cost or they will be noncompetitive shortly. I love my work, shit talk about contractors is like comparing little league to pros. WTF [/QUOTE]
