Hey all you estimators out there, I need some rough numbers.

[LeftyFingerPop]

1) Flooring. Demolish ceramic tile. Lay 3/4' strip tongue and groove hardwood.
I'm figuring $10 to $12 per square foot for purchase, demolition and installation total. Sound reasonable?

2) Painting interior rooms. Some wall repair, cracks, etc. I'm figuring paint cost, plus disposables and materials, plus $25 to $30 TOTAL labor regardless of number of hands. Make sense?

I need this info ASAP. Hurry up.

LOL...thanks a lot.

1. I need an answer. Put your kittehs away for 5 minutes and answer me.

2. Get more money.

4. Really?

5. for the floor - is that a bid you recieved or is that what YOU think it will be?

If it is a bid it is very reasonable, but I would probably get a couple more and watch it if they are that different - seems low to me.

6. Well, it is what I think it SHOULD be....

Assuming that you can still buy good hardwood strip for $5/sq ft.

7. the tile removal/prep is the hard part

the husband (stone mason - lots of floor experience) says prolly more like $17, but not over $20 for sure.

8. Ahhh, OK...thank you both...

I appreciate it! :pals:

3. Rough estimate: $2.33

9. A buck three eighty?

10. a dollar two. ninety-eight

are there abouts.

11. I would say you are off on the labor

[LeftyFingerPop]

12. Tradition used to be to double materials to get total cost, but.....

You're probably right. :(

13. When the labor hits at five-minute intervals, you should really start bearing down
