Has anyone had an entire room redone recently? What is the avg amount of installation/labor?
My mom has all the supplies (paint, tiles, new doors), she just needs someone to come in and do the following - room is about 12x15:
-take down paneling -new walls -prime & paint new walls -lay tile -install two new doors -new molding -new small crawl space door -put in baseboard heating (take out old radiator)
Any idea what this would cost?

Re: Has anyone had an entire room redone recently? What is the avg amount of installation/labor?
we just did this to our living room- its a big room, probably like 20 x 14?? something like that- its more of a "Great room" (we have part of it set up as a dining room, part is set up as a living room. we did a lot of the work ourselves ( took down the ugly paneling, installed recessed lights, added a couple electric outlets). but we had somebody come and put up drywall. it was $750 for them to hang, spackle, and sand all the drywall. (we live in morris county, nj). didn't think that was bad because its such a big room! then, we had it painted. we had somebody paint the room, the ceiling, our entryway, and a new coat in our bathroom- and it was about $1200. like i said, we did a lot of the work ourselves, but that might help give you an idea

A lot of times a handyman knows how to do all of this stuff and will charge you by the day.
That may be a good option, especially if there will be someone home during the day to make sure they are working the entire time they say they are.

We paid $4500 for about the same size room, plus a 4x6 hallway and full bath. We bought all of the supplies ourselves. We actually had alot since it was a project DH started.
The room was gutted already.
