Plus, we have done some upgrades on the house, including a refinished walkout basement and a kitchen redo.To get to the point, to what extent does the 4th bedroom and a wood burning stove add to the value of a home in Central New York?

The dog will most likely scratch at the doors and/or floor, requiring refinishing/painting.

Wood floor refinishing, tile, paint, kitchen redo, appliances, some drywall work, fixing the roof and the fence, some plumbing and electric.

Refinish the wood.

Refinishing wood floors runs 1k to 3k so having to sand one room then refinish would eat that $770. 

I would have like to have refinished the wood floors but they had been covered with glued down partical board so I didn't want to try and finish them.

Thanks city of Milwaukee, another 10k price drop to accommodate new hvac, going from the boiler system to forced air.All in all the work done to the property included:27 new windows2 new furnaces, ductwork and water heatersNew PEX plumbing along with accompanying fixturesDrywall work and insulation to remedy water damageNew roof (6 layer tear off)Refinished hardwood floorsNew cabinets, countertops, etcGutted bathroomsPaint abound Etc, etc, etcBeing the largest project I have undertaken, I ate two months of holding costs in getting the property ready for rent as I grossly underestimated the amount of time it would take to get the property ready.  

I took out old stained carpeting from 3 rooms in my duplex, and I would like to hire a contractor to do the sanding and refinishing.

Current projects include: (1) Refinishing a wooden deck, (2) refilling a compact sand driveway, and (3) replacing a screen door (that will likely require some door frame work this time.)Also looking for a trusted plumber-excavator to replace underground sewer line.Thank you.

We will have to hire someone to do most of the painting and floor refinishing as well as the updating of the kitchen so it is going to be a considerable investment for us.
