Rehab costs in upstate NY

[Colin L.]

Hello,  I am putting in an offer on a home in upstate NY (I am originally from the area), but I'm unfamiliar w/ rehab costs.  Any rehabbers in the area care to share their experiences?   The property in question is an older 2 story home, about  2000 SF, will need a lot of work, new roof, windows, hvac, kitchen, interior finishes, etc.  I know that is still fairly vague but any help is appreciated.

 Hey Colin, I am actually a contractor in the Upstate NY area and property manager. So this is based on my experience using mid-grade materials to get the most bang for your buck. You are right, this is very vague but these are the costs associated with a lot of the stuff we do, both on my own flips and for clients of our management company. We operate in Onondaga, Oneida, Madison, Oswego, Cayuga, Seneca, Wayne, Ontario, Jefferson, Lewis, and some cross over. 

1. Roofing: $350/square $35/square for each layer over 2 layers. 
2. Siding: $400 to $450/square
3. Windows: $50 per window install labor only. Material costs vary greatly. 
4. HVAC: We don't do HVAC in house as you must be licensed but can range from $3,500-$10,000. 
5. Kitchen Flooring: Tough vinyl tile is what I would recommend. Can be grouted and looks great. Attached a pic. $3.50/sqft. 
6. Cabinets: $1,500-$2,500 for mid grade. 
7. Counter Top: $500
8. Back Splash: $1,200
9. Baseboard: $2/ft.
