A contractor friend recently told me he knows of a contractor acquaintance who specializes in removing cabinets from houses in foreclosure in San Diego. They remove all cabinets and the homeowner sells them for whatever they can get. The contractor has a crew of three, does nothing else, and is very busy.
My contractor friend and I agreed this is wrong, although probably legal or else it wouldn’t have blossomed into such a big specialty.
Hmm, what’s next? The guy could warehouse the cabinets, then offer to reinstall them for the new owner: “Hey, I know these cabinets will fit perfectly, and I know just how to put them in”.
He could even take before pictures to show the new owner what the finished product will look like!
