When you renovate, You need to bring upto today’s code( firewall, fire sprinklers, electric, plumbing, insulation...)With all the above, check the renovation cost, it becomes kind of new construction.Let me know if need more details Thanks Reddy

Appraisal came back with a “possible roof leak based on peeling paint on the ceiling” and “insulation on the steam pipes in the basement appears to be friable and MAY contain asbestos”.

New windows, doors, lots more insulation and spray foam in some areas.

-Construction of new 1,000SF home - 2 bed 2 bath I will be the GC (will receive license for FHA loan), and my friends, father and I will be performing all of the framing, windows, flashing, most MEP, insulation, dry walling, painting, finishing.

Part of the rehab is a new garage door and I was asked the following questions:1) Do I want to upgrade the garage door to an insulated garage door for $90?

Plus, the value of properties of this sized are based on their income so I feel that insulates against market downturns.

We are planning to put in ceiling fans in each bedroom and the living room, as well as insulating the roof a little bit because the crumbling plaster has got to go and make way for drywall anyway.

Remodelers need masks to protect from fiberglass insulation, rat sh-t dust, etc.

I am looking for the following if you could please send me contacts for: Wholesalers, property management, architects, engineers, framers, finishers, clean out crew/demo, insulators, conrete installers, window installers, tree removal. 

carpet out of kitchen and placed new flooring, added exhaust fans in the bathrooms, insulated attic What was the outcome?
