This thread listing all of the potential prices for renovating and the comment about diy painting costs vs professional painting costs made me wonder how much we saved by diy-ing our basement reno.

We think when all is said and done, our costs will be under or around 10K for our renovation. Approx 800 square feet, full demo to concrete, reframe, rewire to code and add 20+ recessed lights, new floor, some new plumbing (rerouting and replacing some existing pipes), new ductwork for the basement, new exterior sliding door, new drywall, paint, and all tools and supplies. A few custom built in projects. Ductwork and plumbing were subbed and we brought in an electrician to inspect our work and hook things up. Everything else we did on our own with the help of youtube.

No bathroom. No additional egress needed.

Basic finishes and vinyl plank flooring.

Permitted and inspected work.

How much would it cost to do all this in this area (NOVA) if we hired everything out?

How much did you spend on your basement reno and what was included?  We feel like we have spent a lot but reading here I think maybe we actually saved a ton.[/quote]
