Working on a similar project right now, so I would recommend also looking at windows, isolation, sound proof flooring, fire safety (stairs) and the elevator.

Tile floors throughout and working appliances.

This includes roofing, siding, painting, carpentry, concrete, on-site appliance repair, heating and air conditioning, home inspections, tree service, plumbing, electrical, floor covering, manufactured dwelling installations, land development and most other construction and repair services.

So they legally added a back porch.However, the actual building now has a back "room" which is now a functional master bathroom - so they enclosed the porch, and may have extended the porch, probably raised the floor elevation to match plus a bunch of other things.

In old houses, refinished original wood floors-- My RE is all over 100+ years old.

This is going to be fun to watch... did you get those suction shoes from cartoons to carpet the floor..err... ugh......

The local police and ATF raid the house, busting in the front door and then using a sledge hammer to remove a safe that was bolted to the hardwood floor in the bedroom.

I live in the Metro-West area of Boston, work in the pharmaceutical industry as a day job, and my husband and I gutted and rehabbed our first home in Worcester, MA ourselves (okay, we did contract out refinishing the floors and exterior paint, but nothing else).

Sometimes identical floor plans have very different square foot ages because one is counting the basement or something.Does anyone have suggestions for how to account for this issue in your comps?

I wanted to get opinions on a contractor quote for rehabbing a garden unit apartment. 700 sq ft, would need a full gut, including excavating the concrete slab floor to level and increase ceiling height.For a basic reno, what would a ballpark estimate be to take the place down to the studs, dig out the floor, and rehab with standard finishes, which would also include granite, simple SS appliances, new wiring, and can lights.
