Does anyone know a website or any resources to see average pricing for home renovation in New York City (upper Manhattan)? It's not difficult to see how much the material will cost by seeing homedepot.com, but it's hard to see what's the good price for labor cost of installing -hardwood floor -bathroom tiles -kitchen tiles -cabinet -appliance -painting -closets -refinishing walls etc... I just want to know the ballpark, so I won't get ripped off when negotiating with contractors.

$400 psf for new construction, work your way down from there. The other thing is legal or semi legal?
