When completing a renovation, how much would you suggest paying for

1.Electrical

@Sophia Coleman this is too open ended. Everything is dependent on specifics, ie. number of baths, beds, sqft of house.

Here are some starters:

HVAC

  • How is the furnace, is it still kicking, no? ($3-5k to replace)
  • How are the ducts, are you running new ducts? ($3-500 / duct)
  • How is your ac, not doing so cold? (2k to replace)

PLUMBING

  • Are your drain pipes galvanized steel or PVC? (5-7k to place entire stack)
  • Your water lines are they copper, cpvc, pex? (2k to replace water lines)

ELECTRICAL

  • Do you have an updated electrical panel, no? (1-2k)
  • Do you have romex wire or knob and tube? (7-12k)
  • Do you need new fixtures? (?)

These are VERY general estimates but gives you an idea for very basic ideas of what to pay for. You could buy a newer house that might already have all of the bones in place. Or you could buy a 1800 house that needs all new everything.

Are you thinking of a specific property?
