During the process of buying, selling or renting a property, you often learn about recommended or required repairs and upgrades. This can happen as a result of the home inspection as well as your knowledge of market and comparable homes. Of course, the first thing YOU want to know is, "How much will that cost?"
Pillar to Post is pleased to offer their Residential Construction and Remodeling Estimates cost guide, which provides estimated cost ranges for repair and/or replacement of the major systems and components in a home. It also includes general guidelines for the life expectancies of those systems. This information can help you to make informed decisions when you are considering home repairs or improvements, and is especially valued before your property is listed. Below is just a sampling of Pillar to Post list of estimated costs for hundreds of repairs/upgrades and this is a link to Complete Cost Guide: http://www.pillartopost.com/pdf/2/CostGuide.pdf
