Addition Estimates and Costs - Home Additions Questions
1.00How much would a 900-1000ft second story addition to a home cost in the Bay Are (CA)?
Q.We have a home in San Jose and wanted to add a master suite as a second floor addition and maybe even a den. Has anyone had an addition put on or are there any contractors out there who can answer this. I know you can't give me an exact without all the details, but a ball park figure would be appreciate. I was guessing 100K.
A.Sarah, there are way too many variables inherent of such a home addition project of yours, so what you really need is to get a local home remodeling contractor to give you the local rate for such a project. Ask for rough estimates doesn't get you any closer to truly understanding the costs involved, but may actually cause you to abandon a perfectly feasible project due to inaccuracy. Having a local contractor would permit you to better take advantage of being able to more accurately assess the situation in person. Fortunately, there are plenty of local remodeling contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question. It's important that you get a local estimate and not rely on guesses found here on Yah, as a lot of factors really bear on the cost of such a project, including the following: The cost of material and labor greatly varies by location. Definitely get estimates to start your exploration of the cost, as contractors would be delighted to give you free estimates anyway.
A local remodeling contractor can easily assist you in this project of yours. If you negotiate well with the contractor and he buys the building materials for you, you may try to have him pass the discounted cost of the materials to you, as usually contractors get discounts (called "contractor's discounts") when buying from home improvement stores because of the many purchases they make as required by their jobs.
As I said, Free estimates from local remodeling contractors are the key to your success in this home improvement project of yours. Here's a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in determining the cost of your project, and, ultimately, selecting a local remodeling contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:

1.00Construction Estimates Online?
Q.I'm looking for an online calculator in which a person can enter square footage for a new construction project/addition and get rough national averages for unfinished (frame only) work...all the way through to a finished project. Any help would be great. I'm not yet ready to get professional estimates as my architectural drawing is being created right now, but I want a rough idea on cost and materials using the online device. Thanks!
A.Try this...
1.00What is the cost for labor of interior house painting?
Q.I live near tampa florida and need a few rooms painted but dont know what the going rate for painting is
A.Usually you get estimates by the job from painting companies. They come look at what you want and see how much and how heavy furniture they must move (you can't do it as they want it moved when and where they want not when and where you want = unless you take it all out of all the rooms to be painted and keep it out till they are finished and leave) You cannot be moving furniture or using the rooms when they are painting.
You can hire a low cost home repair and improvement guy that needs work for 15 to 18 dollars an hour on average and you have to help move furniture around and cover and uncover it as an assistant. (This does not get you a reduced per hour cost)
It costs you nothing to get estimates and then you can select one or none if they do not suit. Estimates are Free.
1.00How estimates the cost of the site project ?
Q.For example, facebook or ebay ? What have an influence on the profit ?
For clarify, it is not about production but about the end project.
And thanks for the producing answer!
A.You need to break down all of the tasks that need to be done in order to complete the project. This would be a very long list for something like facebook or ebay. Then you need to estimate the duration required to complete each task. You need to know how much you would need to pay somebody an hour to do that task. So, let's say you need to create a new database and estimate that it will take 60 hours to create it. Your DBA costs $120/hour. So, that cost for that task is 60 * 120. Go down the list of each task and then add them all up.
You will also need to understand hardware costs. You may need to purchase servers or lease them.
Then there are marketing and ongoing operational costs, etc...etc...
Income minus costs equals profit (or lack there of). Keeping your costs lower increases you opportunity for profit. Look at each task and ask if there is a quicker or less costly way of doing it.
1.00Does a new foundation need to be installed in all situations when adding an addition to your home?
Q.We interested in adding an addition to our home in the space that is now our courtyard. This addition is planned to take up the entire space of courtyard. I am thinking that since the addition is going to be attached to two strong walls on each side that are already attached to an existing foundation, a new foundation would not be necessary. Is this correct?
I plan on hiring a contractor
A.As I understand it, the need for a new foundation, and the thickness of it, depends on the expected load mass of the addition and the amount of people expected to occupy such an addition. Are you trying to do this on your own? It sounds like you are. You should have local experts help you out with this. Sticking to local remodeling contractors who do additions all the time would potentially be cheaper than hiring a specialized trade contractor (electrical, plumbing, etc.) for each stage of the job.
So, your best bet would be to get local estimates from local remodeling contractors in your area. Fortunately, there are plenty of local remodeling contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question. It's important that you get a local estimate and not rely on guesses found here on Yah, as a lot of factors really bear on the cost of such a project, including the following: The cost of material and labor greatly varies by location.
Perhaps you can negotiate well with the contractor and he buys the materials (i.e., the building materials necessary for the expansion, etc.) for you, you may try to have him pass the discounted cost of the materials to you in exchange for giving him the job, as usually contractors get discounts (called "contractor's discounts" / "contractor's price") when buying from suppliers because of the many purchases they make as required by their jobs.

1.00We are considering putting an addition on our home. Can you get a loan greater than your homes appraisal value?
Q.We have about $18,000 in available equity. The addition is likely to exceed that amount. Do you know if a mortgage company will lend you more than your home is appraised at for an addition since the value of the home will increase when the addition is complete?
A.No, you are not likely to get more then 80% of the equity or so. Not many banks will agree to 100% with the present dropping of values, and none will mortgage on supposed future appraisals.
1.00S it normal for a second inspection on a home addition to occur almost 5 months later?
Q.Thank you for your response but we have been living in the addition for almost 5 months we were given the ok to move in:(?
A.Yes it is you should have five inspection on the addition to the end. theen the finel one at the in to let you know if it was done the right way . that one you went to have a leg to stand on if somthing is not right

Addition Estimates and Costs
Wondering how high your Home Additions project cost could soar up to? Well, you first need to work out more than a few other variables. Each Remodeling and Additions project is very distinct from the other as are the preferences. So, you'll have to take into consideration your needs and desires before you can even begin to arrive at an estimate.
For example, one family might be looking to add a bedroom and bathroom for their children. Their current home is situated on a flat lot, with room to easily expand where they want to. Their existing home also has a simple roof plan that allows the physical connection of the addition to be completed without major structural changes to the existing home. The plumbing system already has adequate capacity for the added bathroom and making the connections for the drain and water supply aren't that difficult. Their municipality that governs construction permits and procedures is easy to work with, resulting in less energy and costs to their contractor. And the requirements for the finish level of the addition are not extremely high - because it is a kids space and doesn't include lots of fancier, more expensive details.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have a young professional, who wants to renovate an existing bathroom in his Atlanta area condo. His condo association has very rigid policies on constructional additions or renovations. Getting clearance from the condo association is sure to involve a lot of expenses, both in money and time. All these expenses will be passed on to the one who is paying for the project. Then there are the bathroom fixtures and fittings. Even though the young home owner is not adding square footage to his home, he wants a renovated and more luxurious bathroom! Accordingly, the costs of the tiles, countertops, bathtub, plumbing fixtures and lighting is higher as compared to the family’s requirements.
A Atlanta contractor area will provide you ranges on a per Square Foot cost Bathrooms and Kitchens are the most expensive rooms in any house as they are the main rooms that house most systems like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Also with the trendy preferences the young professional has, the project is sure to be expensive, and may be in the range of 200/ft to as much as $400/ft! This is unlike in our first case, where the family’s needs were very minimal and so would cost within a price per square foot range of $70/foot to $150/foot.
Wondering how to go about calculating the estimate for your project? You can do this the easy way by asking a Atlanta area contractor. We can help you find a reputed Atlanta contractor. A contractor will give you a broad outline of what your project should cost.
Before you talk to a contractor it's important to first understand what you want from the project. Then you can explain your vision to the contractor so he is able to execute your project. Petty hurdles and delays are normal in any large project, and you must steel yourself for these.
Wondering how to work on your project Home Additions prices, tensed about what exactly to include when you talk with Atlanta area contractors? Here are some suggestions:
1. How big is my Home Additions project predictably going to be?
- Consider in terms of Square Feet.
2. What kind of structural work am I looking at?
- First figure out whether an excavation or fill is a must do. Check if there are trees that require clearing. Also evaluate whether your project is on a flat lot or irregular land, and, and drainage concerns.
-Would the foundation require any kind of special attention?
- Will your foundation be strong enough for another floor if you are planning one? Exactly how much of reconstruction is required, and where? Are there any hurdles that may call for special attention?
3. How many doors and windows are you planning on?
-Always remember that the number of doors and windows on the envelope (Four outer walls) of your house play a vital role in the inside of the house being hot or cold.
4. Are there any valuable hints for the roof of my Home Additions project?
- Do you have a flat roof or commercial style roof? Are there complicated angles that will need to be particularly well accomplished?
- What sort or level of shingles or tile will you use? Expensive clay tiles or molded rubber slate look-alikes? Simple 1 tab shingles?
5. What kind of interior finishes do you have in mind?
- Do you plan on Luxurious, traditional door hardware, or average production-level knobs and levers?
-What kind of flooring and how much of it? Will it be an economic carpet or Vinyl or more expensive solid wood, designer tiles or marble?
-How much wood work would you need to get done? include cabinets, book shelves etc.
- What type of countertops and firm surface materials will you use? Laminate countertops are characteristically the least costly alternatives (although there are expensive laminate products available), while solid surface natural stone (granite, marble) or man-made solid surface countertops (quartz, aggregate, concrete, Corian) are more elegant.
- What about lighting and electrical ideas?
- What about climate control systems? Is the area going to be too hot or o cold and how do you deal with this?
-How much plumbing is required and what sort of fixtures do you have in mind?
