general price list for repairs

[jendoesrei]

I could have sworn I saw this floating around here somewhere before.....does anyone have a general price list for calculating rehab costs? I'm looking for a list of ballpark figures for common fixes, like replacing the toilet, flooring, the roof, etc.

LOL. Did you lose your bookmark on creonline? :scream:

does anyone have another list that includes more like bathrooms, kitchens, etc, etc?

Jud, I have two quick ways for determining repair costs for ya.
Quickest: Bathrooms = $3k to $5k to remodel, Kitchens = $10k to $20k.

Second quickest (but somewhat more accurate): material x 2 = complete job.

The most accurate way to determine what it will cost is to call a contractor, or start doing it yourself and you'll get a good feel for what a repair/remodel might cost.

Personally, I update my price list frequently from my cabinet vendor and other material from lowes.com.

Start learning general prices or take an experienced friend, partner, family member and over time you will learn things. General costs method based on past knowledge for us is a home takes after doing genreal math either 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 ect in cost we always round up and find we come up with about 20 for a pretty extensive rehab.

Walk thru the house and make a list of everything you think you will need. Go to hardware store and price each item. I had to spend a couple of hours pricing everything, but budget estimate was pretty accurate at the end of the project. Of course, if you will have to add labor if not doing yourself.

I agree with Randy except that I would add 10% to cover things that may have been missed or turned out to be one of those jobs where you break a $10 part while replacing an adjacent $2 part.

this site ( http://www.contractors.com/h/info/resources.html ) has a good project estimator for home improvement projects. I've used it before and it seems relatively accurate. It focuses more on renovations/improvements than repairs, however.
