The trick is finding reliable contractors which this forum can help with recommendations.

Just don't give any upfront money, pay after work is complete and you are satisfied.
Thanks for the reply. I was reather surprised that the markup on the blinds was 100%. Many people in this forum have recommended 48 hr blinds so they seem like a good choice. Needless to say that no one gets paid in advance. Do you know of any other options that would be best done after closing?
