[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did a two story addition to a DC row house that added about 450 sq feet, new bedroom, new family room and new bathroom. Cost was about $120k. Typically you can budget by looking at about $250-300 per sq foot. However, some people here (try the real estate board for example) have paid through the nose for their additions. There is no "NOVA tax" - that's nuts. All it means is that you have been ripped off.[/quote] Yea, that's what it means. I can tell you I have family who are in the business and they know this area is the richest, so the bids reflect that. I will also say labor is so expensive so that drives the cost up. Unskilled illegal day labor is $15/hr. [/quote]
