$40k for 840 square foot basement?
I need somebody's opinion on this. I'm disabled and I'm trying to move into my mom's basement who is very elderly. Before I could do that, we had to pay a mold remedial team to come in and they removed the bottom 4 ft of literally every single wall in the basement as well as every single door and door frame. There's no more flooring or bathroom, vanity or toilet. Thankfully the tile shower and the tile floor were kept intact.
We had a contractor come out and give us a quote to get the basement put back together and it was $40,000. Basically what needs done is either drywalling the bottom half of every wall which is three small bedrooms and a living room or removed what is there and completely start over, carpet for the entire basement, painting, doors and door frames for eight doors I believe, baseboards, a bathroom vanity and sink, and a toilet. I knew we were expecting to maybe pay around $20,000 but when he came back with that $40,000 quote we were absolutely floored.
Mind you this is a cheaper house and it's not like I'm expecting there to be a high-end toilet and vanity or carpet or anything.
