Zach Howard Quick ways to calculated rehab costs across Georgia
28 April 2025 | 2 replies
To piggy back off him, I'm based in Georgia and happy to share a few quick rules of thumb that have worked for me (as he mentioned every project is a little different):Light rehab (paint, floors, fixtures, minimal repairs): around $20–$30 per sq ftModerate rehab (kitchen/bath updates, flooring, paint, some systems work): around $35–$50 per sq ftHeavy/full gut rehab (major systems, roof, structural work, full cosmetic overhaul): $60–$100+ per sq ftI usually walk the property with a checklist (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, windows, foundation, cosmetics) and quickly assess if each major category needs minor, moderate, or full replacement — that helps me adjust my per-square-foot estimate.Also, in Georgia, labor can be a little more affordable compared to other states, but material costs are still creeping up, so always pad your numbers by 10–15% for surprises.Hope that helps!
