[quote=Anonymous]We did a significant update of my mother-in-laws large townhouse several years ago (new kitchen, updated baths, wallpaper stripping and full painting inside and out, new windows, refinished floors, new carpet, recessed lighting) in preparation for sale. Cost about 50k, which I think was a bargain. If you are planning for resale, I would budget $25-30k for the kitchen, $8-10k for each bath (more for the expanded one), $20k for new flooring (wild guess). Impossible to say about the wall tear down, which can introduce a lot of complexity to the process ($). I would imagine you'd want to repaint as well ($5-8k). If this is your personal residence, it will cost more because you will want upgraded materials and custom finishes. In my experience, the biggest cost variable will be the contractor who does the updates. We got several bids on a home we were renovating for rental a couple of years ago. Estimates ranged from about $50k to three times as much.[/quote]
