Did not charge for damage to new kitchen drawer, damaged doors, or replacement of pet damaged carpeting.

Hello all,I am working on remodeling my first investment, and I need to have the old, thirty-year old carpets ripped up and replaced with laminate / vinyl to look like wood for the living room, dining room and kitchen, and the three bedrooms to have new carpeting.The house in question is ~1,500 square feet, but I have gotten some extremely high estimates for the job and am wondering if I'm either misunderstanding something or not approaching this job correctly. 

In other words, the duplex I bought was $45k.A new roof, 2nd floor floors and kitchen ran me approximately $16k.When I go to refi, will the duplex now be valued at $60k+?

We are also going to move a few non-structural walls around to increase the kitchen size, convert the hall half bath to a full bath, and turn the current full bath into an en-suite for the master.Exterior we are replacing the siding, windows and doors, and paint the brick white.

My wife and I just purchased our first duplex we are house hacking and in the re-model planning stage for the kitchen.

So ballpark range 130K -150K for 1500 SF with no addition.After Picture Kitchen -Rehab ATM ConstructorsBefore Picture of Kitchen...What a Mess!

There are few thing to fix: roof, plumbing, kitchen, painting, floor, foundation.

Closed in October 2013 at $152,000Over the next few years, I made some additions and repairs (new bedroom, bathroom, and extra kitchen in the basement), and now got two housemates - completely covered my mortgage payments.2015 rolls around and I start studying real estate a little bit more.

Got it for a good price pre-construction and was essentially a new build, new roof, central A/C, W/D in unit, dishwasher, bamboo floors, new kitchen with granite, 16 ft ceilings, small loft area, skylights (yes, it is the 4th floor in a walk up).
