Costs to demolition a house?
Comments (10)We just had a small lakehouse demolished and removed. Approximately 700 sf was raised (on crawl space) and about 500 sf on slab. The cost was $4,000.00. We're in Alabama. An option that the City inspector mentioned when we were inquiring about getting the demo permit was a controlled burn. Seems the local fire department will do them for free (as a training exercise) but we would have still had to contract out the disposal of the debris. We opted not to go that route since a we had some trees (one in particular a magnificent oak) that we didn't want harmed....See MoreCross Posting: Asbestos abatement requires demolition of original
Comments (5)The material is vinyl asbestos tile. The danger will be to your child. You can cover it up or have it professionally removed. I find it odd that the floor cannot be saved but I doubt it is worth saving unless it is quarter sawn oak ... It is probably clear fir and too soft for the surface to not be damaged....See MoreCost for demolition.
Comments (4)The only way to find out if a bid is reasonable is to get another bid. But keep in mind that demoing a bathroom is not entirely unskilled labor. I live in a building and there have been more than few instances when someone broke a pipe and flooded a unit when a bathroom was being demoed. As to whether you do it yourself, that would really depend on what your time is worth and what your finances are....See MoreBallpark cost to add a bathroom in basement?
Comments (9)Unfortunately it is a bit of a chicken and egg situation because you can't really get an estimate unless you provide the GC with the specifications because otherwise the estimates are meaningless and can't even be used to compare one against the other since god is in the details. What is your budget - you must have some amount that you have in your mind that is what you can afford to spend at the moment. Pulling a figure out of my proverbial arse, I would say that a moderate - not upscale bathroom - in a moderate but not high cost of living area would cost at least $15,000 if not more. Prefab showers or prefab/tub showers are quite a bit less expensive than the kind of tiled shower that most people covet because the materials for a tiled shower are more expensive and you need more highly skilled labor or you can wind up with a disaster. I suspect that my tiled moderately size shower cost at least $10,000 and perhaps more when everything was factored in - tiles, labor, framing, waterproofing, plumbing - including all of the fixtures and grab bars and the frameless shower door. It all starts adding up - and that is just the shower :-)....See MoreYun Kim
