[quote=Anonymous]A few ways. Do demo yourself. I had basement redone due to a huge flood and I got a dumpster sent to house and hired two guys homedepot parking lot to help and we did ripout ourselves. Then I mold remediated and sprayed and dried out myself. I then coordinated buying material myself with my guy, had it all delivered. Filled up whole garage and some center of basement. Then I paid cash and agreed no permits. We did contract as handyman with me self contracting which is legal. We did entire basement, including what I spent for 35K. My neighbor had guy do it start to end spent 120K same exact size house. My home depot guys charged $125 a day each. So for 4 days cost me $1,000 plus $500 dumpster rental. Remediation cost me $600 for chemicals and commercial fan and commercial dehumidifier rental. My neighbor spend $40,000 just one ripout and mold spraying. T [/quote]
