[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3617530, member: 44328"] Most of what we did in our remodel would probably not apply to you, we remodeled our primary residence, not a rent house and probably splurged in some areas that I wouldn't have on a rent house.... The only thing I'd probably do differently is I'd have bit the bullet and had all the drain plumbing replaced before putting down new floors but that may not apply to you. Our house was built in about 1972 and had popcorn ceilings, and no one tested for asbestos or suggested that it might be asbestos, or that it needed to be tested. The general contractor and a couple of his guys just removed it just as someone described above. I have a short video of them doing a little of it, if you'd like to see it. I would also agree with FullAuto, you'll likely have more in attorney fees, energy invested in trying to collect, and frustration than you'll ever get back. I know how hard it is to just let people get away with stuff like that, but as a pragmatic matter you'll almost certainly just be spinning your wheels so I would give that a lot of thought first.
