What kind of savings can I expect if I have a contractor friend offering to help me renovate at cost? (He is a prof. for over 30 years in comm. &
res) My husband and I just bought a house with cash, and want to do some small changes. My uncle is a professional contractor in AZ who does great work for local hotels, spas, and larger residential. He very kindly offered to help us do it at his cost - I wanted to get an idea of what to expect. We are looking at an LG french door fridge and double wall ovens, a gas washer and dryer, installing good quality wood laminate in approx. 700 sq ft., painting a 3,000 sq ft house, and replacing the counter from granite tile to silestone(not sure of the size, sorry.) What would you estimate the savings would be so we can work out our budget? I.e. If our total was 15,000, would it be 25% less than that, 30%, 40%...? My uncle will not be able to get out here for another two months, so we have some time to save.
Hi, get two bids from different local contractors, maybe even 3. Then Ask your uncle for his bid.
Then you will have 4 estimates on the cost to do the changes on your new home.
Appliances, go online to lowes, home depot, menards, do it yourself companies (some of this you migth not have in LA!) , best buy and sears on prices. Depending on credit and propmotions some companies offer minimun payments for 12 months. Also, you should see options, LG is not going to be moderate price you could be talking around 2,000 to 3,600.
Congratulations on your new Home!
Benito.
