Dollars and Cents
Buying a new home means you won’t be surprised with unexpected and expensive maintenance and repair issues. And it won’t require remodeling to make that old-fashioned floorplan and finishes work for your lifestyle today. The costs to update a typical, 30-year old, 1,300 square foot home by professional firms can range from a few thousand dollars to much more. These estimates were supplied by New Spaces, a local remodeling and handyman firm:
Exterior Painting - $2,500 to $5,000
New Appliances - $3,000 to $10,000
Update Kitchen (Countertops, sink and faucet, backsplash) - $10,000 to $25,000
Remodel Kitchen - $40,000-plus
Update Bathroom (New vanity, plumbing fixtures, excluding tub/shower) - $2000 to $10,000
Remodel Bathroom - $18,000 to $30,000
New Furnace - $2,500 to $4,000
New Air Conditioner - $3,000 to $4,000
New Carpet or Vinyl Floor - $3.00 to $6.00/square foot
