Hi - I am a first time home buyer in NYC and found a co-op that I like, but it needs to be renovated – I am looking to do the following (plans should not have a problem being approved by the board): Kitchen: take down half of a wall (non-structural) to open up the kitchen, new cabinets and appliances (mid-price range) Bathroom: new everything - but no structural changes Alcove: put up wall to close off sleeping area and make 2 closets into 1 large walk in closet Floors: refinish hardwood floors Living area: install 2 California closets Does anyone have an estimate for what that would cost or can anyone recommend a contractor that they have had a good experience with that can give me an estimate for the renovations?? I want to make sure I understand what the total cost is going to be before putting in an offer. Any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! [less]
