Under the walls are blocks of cement.

Double or triple your budget unfortunately and that is because based on my experience some of the materials are substandard that the project manager would have to upgrade them for safety reasons (like rebar and cement quality).

I eventually found a good roofer, siding guy, asphalt/cement/paver guy, all around handyman, electrician, and my granite place.

The previous owners installed cement board siding and all new vinyl windows, so a couple of framing thing and boom duplex.

It was cemented in and fenced.

The house had a human size chessboard, koi ponds, sand volleyball court, view.When he figured out he was losing the house, he trashed it... cement down toilets, broke shower pipes in the wall, threw paint on the cabinets, etc.

Hey all,I am looking at a 4plex in Philly that has a cement storage area attached.

I am going to be putting in new floors in the living room and dining room of my condo, and the cost to install hardwood isn't greatly different from having someone professional stain the cement.I know the stained cement would be more durable and less maintenance, but I would like to know other pros and cons of both options.

The homeowner also poured a cement floor and built a garage over the septic system to hide it, so that was estimated to be around $50k to correct, assuming the land perc's and a system is approved.

And the other major portion of work that I saw was that the first floor cement foundation had a huge crack running the length of the garage floor.
