In situations where detaching and resetting fixtures is warranted because of size, situation, and/or a trade licensed contractor being needed for this activity, this assumption would not normally be included and may need to be accounted for separately. The manipulation of larger or excessive amounts of content items may warrant additional/separate items. It is up to the estimator and parties involved to determine if their scenario logically requires modification to the existing item and/or if additional items are needed. Oil primers are often used for odor and stain control and the ability to adhere to a variety of surfaces and paint types. Where applicable, paint material prices are surveyed inclusive of state-mandated fees for stewardship assessment and recycling programs.
