Remodelling costs

[infoseeker]

We would like to understand remodelling costs (material+labor) for each of the following. We know there will be a big range based on what we want but would like to get some ballpark to keep in mind before making an offer on a home that requires remodelling…

1. 450 sq feet of hardwood flooring
2. Traveltine Tile flooring for a 150 sq feet kitchen
3. Granite Countertop — granite area may be 40 sq ft
4. Interior custom paint for a 2400 sq ft home
5. Masterbath remodel — (tile flooring, shower tiles and countertop)

Masterbath remodel can run from $5K to about $40K depending on the project. If you don’t have to move plumbing around, dig up the drains, or change out the shower pan, that helps considerably. High-end fixtures and finishes can kill you. Keeping the old sink/toilet helps a bit. The key is a good design that uses low-end stuff, with small touches of high-end, but looks awesome together.

Try lumber liquidators for the flooring info. Consider engineered wood instead of hardwood to lower costs. I think flooring is $8 – $12 per sq. ft. installed.

I have heard lots of good things about Miramar Kitchen and Bath, though I have never used them. They would be a good place to start for pricing. I am more of a do-it-yourselfer and MKB is a “turn-key” place. They come in and do everything. They seem expensive to me, but again – people say they do a good job.

I know a good Russian contractor. He isn’t the cheapest, but isn’t expensive either, and pays attention to detail, making everything right. Did a good job for me on some tile and a great job for a friend of mine on an entire bathroom.

Not sure about labor, but tile and travertine range from $2.50/sq. ft to $60/sq. ft. Some of the $5/sq. ft stuff is pretty nice. A tile guy would probably charge you a few-hundred to a couple thousand for those jobs.

Now is the time to be remodeling. We are adding 1000sf to our house and are paying close to $115/sf which is absolutely unheard of. Send me an email and I can give you some good contacts. radelow AT yahoo DOT com.

[quote=infoseeker]We would like to understand remodelling costs (material+labor) for each of the following. We know there will be a big range based on what we want but would like to get some ballpark to keep in mind before making an offer on a home that requires remodelling…

1. 450 sq feet of hardwood flooring
2. Traveltine Tile flooring for a 150 sq feet kitchen
3. Granite Countertop — granite area may be 40 sq ft
4. Interior custom paint for a 2400 sq ft home
5. Masterbath remodel — (tile flooring, shower tiles and countertop)[/quote]

prices I seen so far…

1. ~$5/sqft + ~$3/sqft install = $8/sqft, $3600
2. ~$3/sqft (look for it in Home Depot) + $4/sqft install = $7/sqft, $1050
3. $3-4k?
4. ~$3000 for paint
5. ~10k?
———
total $18-20k
