GIVE ME A PRICE RANGE

Answer 1

It could cost anywhere from your $30,000 to over a $1 million or more. It depends on what's needed. You best bet is to get a contractor to come in and examine what's needed for the conversion and what you want to do. Based on that review, he'll be able to provide a proposal. Contractors will typically charge $300 - $500 for that estimate (if an architect is required, that price could go higher).

Answer 2

i would suggest getting bids from local contractors. (reference the BBB)

please remember to check their licenses with the state and ask for references (and check those too).

ask to see their liability and workers comp limits.

when your bids are received...make sure they have included the $$$ for the pulling of permits and for the architectual plans. most people forget this part.

also remember what ever the time estimate is to finish (always tack on an additional 30 days) 'cause things go wrong always along the way.

good luck :)

Answer 3

$200.00 per square foot for everything.
