      Man, no help on price. Problem will likely be availability of hands in the short term. I would het to work on sheetrock and insulation yourself as quickly as possible. Bleach in a sprayer as well. Hate to hear. Best wishes. Went through the same with my parents x2. 4800 sq. ft. single story. Water in each room.

        Kurtis, not sure how it would work in your area, but many, many of the homes in our local area were cleared by volunteers from local area churches. That's the first place I'd contact... my local church, or churches in your area... We have teams ready right now at our church ready to go out into homes in Kingwood to start that process ...again!! We did almost 300 after Harvey just in Kingwood!! Soon as water goes down where I can get out of my area, I'll be headed in to join a crew that will be mudding out my daughter's house... AGAIN!! She flooded in April...
        Good luck sir, and do your best to keep Weston out of that water!! ...some nasty stuff in flood waters.

          String line, razor knife and 4 or 5 guys can get that done by lunch time. Biggest deal is getting fans or dehumidifiers running. Id offer my help but cant till sunday

            I am pretty sure Kurtis did all the work during his Harvey flooding and he doesn't want the *** whipping again so he's trying to find out what it will cost him for somebody else to do it. That's what I gathered anyway from knowing he just went through this.

                    If it was my house I would salvage what I can go buy all the tools I needed and be at Home Depot by 6:30am with a $1000.00 bill in my hand for 5 guys. Take the, home and have them remove everything 4’ down. If the wife is going to try and pick through things as they are working it will just slow things down. Less than $1 a square foot.

                        I just talked to my son-in-law, and he told me "we ain't touching a thing"... I ain't got it in me to do it again... He's already called his insurance company and he has a crew that is supposed to start tomorrow... I'm sure that's what Kurtis is thinking too!! I will ask my SIL if he got a price and let you all know.

                          Definitely be in contact with the churches. Like the guy above said, I don’t know how many houses we did but we ran out of houses to gut.

                              Kurdawg, check with local churches, some of them will be taking requests to tear out sheet rock. Get on their help list. Free labor. Our church did several hundred houses during Harvey. If you have a Church Family, they will help. The B-Air Blowers dry a wet floor and walls real quick. We used them today and they are awesome.

                              Brother my heart goes to you and your family.
