Approx. costs of rehab items
I need some handy little sheet that gives me some ballpark figures or range of figures to help me estimate the cost to do some typical rehab work.
Please let me start by explaining that I am not new to rehabbing. My husband and I have rehabbed 7 houses ourselves. As you can imagine, we're tired. I want to be an investor, not a renovation specialist. So, we're hiring folks to handle the work from here on out.
However, I feel like I'm starting all over with the cost estimates. I can tell you how much a sink or tub costs, or how much it costs to rent a floor sander and buy sanding pads/paper, etc., I do not know how much it costs to have someone else install that sink or tub or to refinish my floors.
I realize that 3 different people will spend 3 different amounts to do the same project. I'm just looking for a nice, convenient place where I can go to glance at some general ideas of typical expenses.
For example (keeping in mind, I'm rehabbing to rent places, usually):
Paint = $? per sf (including paint; walls beige, trim white, basic stuff)
Carpet = $? per sf (including tear-out, new pad and carpet).
Replace toilet = $?
Replace vanity top = $?
Replace vanity faucet = $?
Vinyl flooring install = $? per sf
HW floor refinishing = $? per sf
Upgrade/replace breaker box = $?
New exterior door = $?
New interior door = $?
See where I'm going? I'm certainly not the first person to need this, so I'm certain what I'm looking for exists out there . . . somewhere . . .
