Just a suggestion,look what the homes in this area are selling at.You do not want to put to much money into it and can't sell it.Unless you plan on staying there for many years,to offset your investment. My father and i were contractors for many yrs.The previous home I had I redid everything.if i had to pay labor and material I could not have sold the house as i put alot of labor into it.the neighborhood just wouldn't stand that kind of price.I did make money though.So plan waht you want to do and get good firm prices,then add it up and see where you are. Doing the work is no bigge for the contractor.Bob
