Hi Billy,

From what you are describing, it would appear that the $125k estimate is around the ballpark for this type of renovation / makeover.

As always, ensure you have a buffer/cushion amount to cover the unexpected costs for unforseen situations and also for those items that you feel you need to have in your home that cannot be easily added be later.

Please keep us in mind once you take possession and good luck with your purchase!

The way you have described, it should be between 80K and 100K.

This type if renovation with complete kitchen remodeling, removing structural wall,...etc is the most expensive part in home renovation industry. $125K seems a bit more than average cost and you might be able to save a bit but we can not able to give you any numbers unless we see the place

Hello Billy:

In your email you have not specified the size of the house, age, type, accessibility, design and material...

Base on limited info i have, I would say a main floor Reno including Load bearing wall removal, electrical plumbing updating and appliances will be between 60K-100K.

Regards

I live in Manitoba so our pricing on some things may differ. However my recommendations to you is get three quotes. 2 from reputable companies that can provide references. And one from one of the smaller less known companies. Do your research making sure that they have not made a bad name for themselves with anyone.

The smaller guys price can help bring down the bigger companies pricing if they are looking for the work and if it's not ridiculously low.

Make sure you call and talk to the references ask what they had done so you are aware of what to expect.

Review all contractors online. Looking up "company name complaint" or something similar.

The price seems a bit high to me. A bathroom should be around 5-10k

A beam would have to be installed in the kitchen to carry the load. This would probably be 10-15k with the wall removal.

The flooring would be 10k

The walls 5-8k

Gutting the basement depending on size amount of walls 10-15k

All the small things are what add up. Probably add another 10 k for trims, baseboards,electrical plumbing removal rerouting.

Remember no plumbing can be run in the outside wall, in case of freezing.

Also all estimate/ approximate pricing depends on cost of materials used.

Ex) 3$ per pineal foot let vinyl plank flooring versus

6$ pineal foot tile.

Just an example.

Hope all goes well.
