Hi,So my friend is building a ~600 sq foot ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) in their backyard to be rented out as a "private residence" (think of it like a 1 bedroom studio/apartment with its own living space/bedroom/bathroom. 

Painted inside of house, remodeled bathroom, remodeled kitchen, replaced the roof, and fixed a termite damage repair that cost $5,700, and just replaced the water heater with an electric on demand water heater.

We ended up renovating one of the two bathrooms, cleaning up the other as it was in good condition, designing the kitchen cabinets around the already existing countertops (which were a level 5 granite called Cosmic and worth roughly $100/sf), re-tiling the mechanical room and carpeting two of the three bedrooms.

The discussion is open to all ideas and materials, but so far I've learned to paint with mildew primer in the bathrooms followed with semi-gloss paint, go with American Standard Cadet 3 style toilets, install commercial grid drains, still on the fence about high end laminate flooring or wood style tile, etc. etc. 

I am looking forward for a quote for a bathroom to be built in the Basement.

The project is 2 small single family homes, full gut, painting and floors, windows and doors, drywall, kitchen and bathroom, etc. 

Let myself into the bathroom, shower curtain closed but not properly lapped into the tub (which is why water was leaking out).

I’ve had a front door and a bathroom door replaced in the last 3 months, cost was like 200 each.  

Kitchens were updated with new cabinetry, fixtures, and appliances, while bathrooms were either re-built or built from scratch.
