Please check my scope of work for rehab
The house I'm buying is about 1200 sf 3 beds 1 bath. Termite infested and multiple diy issues from previous owner.
The scope of work can be summarized as
1. Landscape: trim tree away from the property
2. Roof shingle repair, install hurricane strap and insulated the roof ( the roof had about 5- 8 years left)
3. Front porch beam, columns, railing replace.
4. Small stucco repair and exterior paint
5. Replace 8 doors, install weatherstripping in the entry door, repair windows hardware and window trim
6. Remove structure wall between kitchen and living room
7. Remodel kitchen with cabinets and new appliances
8. Remodel bathroom
9. install about 900 sf laminate flooring. (seem to be more durable than hardwood and get the height closer to the kitchen tile)
10. New water heater
11. Re pipe galvanized plumbing
12. New electrical to get it up to code (1 cloth wiring, mismatch breaker, couple oversize breaker, new wire, conduits for water heater line)
13. New gutter
14. Interior paint
Things I can delay: Remove structure wall, exterior paint, tree trimming hurricane strap and insulation.
This seem more like a full rehab than cosmetic rehab that I initially though. Is the scope of work good enough to talk to contractors?
