Rehab costs in Greater New Orleans
I am wondering what people are paying for rehabs costs in Greater New Orleans. Any input or thoughts would be appreciated from local rehabbers/Investors/Contractors.
For example, how much on average are you spending on the following items:
- Kitchen
- Full bath
- Half bath
- Updating plumbing
- Rewiring house
- Patch/Paint/Repair a standard room
- Dumpster Hire
- Replacing a window
- Replacing internal door
- Replacing External door
Appreciate your help on any of these items.

@Stephen Keighery I generally have not priced out individual prices like you have listed, but can provide some data for some of your items.
Replace plumbing (all drain and supply on raised, all supply and drains only above top of slab) - I use $700 per fixture as a general rule, not including replace of the main drain under slab houses. A fixture would be a toilet, sink, tub/shower, waterheater, dishwasher, icemaker.
Complete rewire - $5/ft2, not include recessed cans or fixtures.
Dumpster - 30yard dumpster is $350/dumpster. I generally use 4-6 dumpsters per gut renovation (>2000ft2) or new construction duplex (>2000ft2).
Window replacement ~ $300-350/window, simple vinyl window without the need for extensive exterior siding work, not including interior trim work.
Flooring - I would say laminate and LVP flooring install should be around $1.50-$2.00/ft2, material would be anywhere between $1/ft2 to $4/ft2 (anything less than $2/ft2 is crap). Tile would increase the materials and labor. Prefinished hardwood flooring would cost anywhere between $6 to $10/ft2, depending on material and complexity of the job.
