Conditions and access
Crawlspace access, rental-history wear and tear, and storm-related repairs already in progress can all add time before new work starts.
Scope and materials
Ask each proposal to name where the repair ends, what materials are actually compatible with the house, and how disposal and final restoration get handled.
Permits and specialist input
Structural changes, moved plumbing, or work near a historic designation may require permits and inspection. Confirm locally with the selected provider and the city.
