[quote=Anonymous]Our cape cod has 7 foot ceilings in the upstairs (in the highest part - sloped ceilings in all the bedrooms). The roof is nearing the end of its life and we need new windows. Contemplating trying to redo the entire upstairs floor all at once - raise to 8' ceilings with an attic above (pushing the slope into the attic), along with all new windows. The whole house needs to be repainted anyway so that would be part of the project as well. Obviously we are at the early stages of just thinking about this. Any thoughts from the crowd on 
1- whether we need a full GC or if an "exterior" company that does all of these things (roof/windows/painting)
2- any guesses as to a ballpark cost?

We had more or less earmarked 30K for new windows (18 windows in the house), 15K for a new roof and 10K for painting, all as separate projects. House is 1800 SF over 1.5 stories currently. Any chance we could do the whole thing for under $125K by the time you rebuild framing on the upper story and attic? Is there any economy of scale to doing it all together?[/quote]
