What would you do with this basement/porch? *St Louis*
We've got a home that has what I think they call a cold storage room?
Basically a room built under the porch. It leaks. The porch is cracked. We had a contractor submit an estimate to rip it out and brace/rebuild it. $2500. Sounds decent. I gave him the greenlight. Then before he starts he sends me an email asking for 5k instead. Claiming he didn't realize it had the basement under it.... Seriously? That's why we called you.
Anyone ever dealt with one of these? What cost should I be looking? At any creative solutions?
Porch is small. Runs maybe 1/4th the length of the house. I would say maybe a 5x5.
