How much do you think this renovation would cost?

kruser,

hollow panel doors fine
cheap (but new) cabinets
laminate floors
countertops would like granite but would settle for laminate if cost is significantly diff.
standard windows
NEW appliances
Porcelain tile ok

i doubt it makes much diff but just looked....it is 2300 sq ft interior (not 2100)

$250/door installed..... includies hollow core molded panel prehung, MDF casing & basic hardware (Kwikset or Dexter by Schlage)

$500/window installed....basic vinyl sliding retrofit. (Milgard, Simonton, Jeld Wen, etc)
$1,000/window installed if doing full frame replacement

SoCal prices listed, adjust for Island pricing.

PS. Buy from a window & door dealer, not a big box store. Cost & value are two different things.

shit.....cost of my home is already $25k more than my initial offer (I changed my offer as seller didn't like)....i think I may end up paying $35k-$40k more than when I started this thread...

if renovations are $60k-$65k then not too bad....if more then I may be in for a world of hurt

follow up question....how long do you think this will take?

FWIW, i just found out cost of all materials is about 2.5x more expensive in hawaii due to shipping

Looking at a house that needs a lot of work....I know an estimate is needed but I have never done this and am looking for a ballpark number (maybe within $20k)

Home is about 2100 sq ft (interior...single story).

- Flooring throughout (cheaper wood laminate or carpet is ok)
- Painting throughout (interior for sure and possibly exterior)
- Kitchen complete remodel (new appliances, new cabinets, and tear down a wall with old cabinets)
- renovations on 2 bathrooms....(maybe not complete but for the sake of caution, lets say complete)
- No structural changes.....but possibly adding a few walls to enlcose open rooms.
- change out some windows and doors.

I'm not sure if we have contractors or someone who knows this.....

(lol at me looking to a gambling forum for home repair...u guys are the best)
