Large Renovation on a nicer rental - I have no idea if this quote is reasonable.

[James Landsford]

Longer story short, I have a nicer rental that I picked up in the Dallas area. I was going to complete some notable upgrades on it but do not have a lot of experience in completing some of the tasks. The list of what I need done is listed below. So far, my normal guy has quoted me $15,000 for labor, trash and debris removal and equipment rental (no materials included). I have no idea if this is reasonable at all. Here is the scope of work.

1. Remove and install new, 120 feet of privacy fence and also stain the fence.

2. Install 150 feet of decorative fence around the front part of the lawn

3. Dig and remove around 200 square feet of an old concrete driveway, frame and lay down the concrete (concrete will be ordered from concrete supply business) and complete a brick ribbon around the driveway. Also we are expanding the driveway to 400 feet so dig up yard etc. to accommodate the expansion.

4. Dig and remove around 20 feet of old sidewalk. Once again, frame it and concrete it (bagged concrete on this) and then add a brick ribbon.

5. Put in a French drain that runs around 150 linear feet.

6. Run new gas line from the street to house.

7. Build new brick mailbox at front of property

8. Tear out and redo landscaping around front of home (140 linear feet)

9. Front porch has wood pillars, I want to make those brick pillars. I also want to tear out the concrete platform and steps and have brick steps and brick platform. Total steps are 3 and platform is 4x4.

10. Tear out side porch steps (3) and do brick and then lay brick over concrete so it is a brick patio (8x10 patio top)

11. Painting some areas outside/miscellaneous small work such as outdoor ceiling fan etc.)
