Estimated renovation costs

[Mary Ciccarelli]

I’m looking at a property in the Lehigh Valley, PA area that needs a lot of TLC. It’s a 3 bed / 2 ba at 1,760 sqft.

I’m looking to renovate the kitchen and 2 bathrooms completely (which includes new appliances) replace the carpet throughout the house (with hardwood flooring possibly), and will have to remove wood paneling from walls and replace with sheet rock and paint. Not sure how easy it is to remove that old school wood paneling?

Also, there are drop ceilings ... I hear those can be a nightmare as you never know what you will uncover underneath. So not sure how costly that could end up being?

Just looking for estimate reno costs as this would be my first time!
