There are original hardwoods through the home (built in 1952) except in the kitchen & master bedroom.  

It's $2.20 per square foot, making it just 10% more than the cheaper Allure.Since the Ultra stuff does not use the glue strips like the cheaper Allure, it's completely waterproof, so you could do the hardwood look throughout the entire house -- including bathrooms and kitchens.  

Pre 1945's, the home is made of redwood (no termites), has original hardwood floors, and in an established neighborhood.

The single family she has is newly renovated with a tin roof, washer and dryer, hard wood floors, and central AC and heat. 

I also made a rookie mistake in not covering the hardwoods after having them refinished which led to them beat up pretty bad by my a/c guys and hence they look HORRIBLE in these photos!

Carpet upstairs needs to be replaced and I think we might just do all hardwood so its easier to maintain.

I'm hoping to get rough estimates in the following areas:Interior painting per floor square footExterior painting per floor square footRoofing (and roof repair) per floor square footGood ways of estimating electrical and plumbingRough estimates on flooring (laminate, eng hardwood, tile)Cabinet/countertopsI appreciate any info anyone can share on the topic.

Greetings, BPers- I am halfway through my first buy/hold upfit (a 2-story townhome) and I intend to tear out a crappy carpet and parquet floor downstairs and put in Engineered hardwood from Home Depot.

Market: Portsmouth, VA The good:Refinished hardwood floors that are lovelyNice looking neighborhood and streetBig living / dining / kitchen / front sitting porchThe bad: Duplex that rents for max $800 each unit, mortgage is $1800 (2 units that are 2/1), tends to attract young navy couples who move away in a yearBottom unit has been empty since SeptemberI live out of stateThey just put expensive tolls in for the tunnelsRanked some of the worst schools in the USUpstairs has a failing A/CDownstairs has no central air, and a gas boiler heater on it's last legsSmall bedrooms with tiny closetsThe garage looks like a murder shack with doors hanging offCeiling in downstairs bath has a bit of water damage that is uglyMy thoughts:I'm going to try to see if I can refinance it and roll a bunch of these expensive repairs into it (new A/C for both units, fix garage up, etc). 

It is a separate unit and not shared space.The unit is in great condition except for carpet needs replacing and the hardwoods.
