Question by Jason: Home Remodel Question??? Freshin up the house Rough Estimates?
Northern California – Contra Costa County

Home – Single Story – Slab Foundation – 3 Bedrooms – 1 Bath – 1,155 Sq Ft

Looking for a round about estimate on how much it would cost someone to just come into the home and tear out the drywall, mouldings, carpet etc and just put in new dry wall w/ machine texture or small texture (have huge ugly texture now), new mouldings / basboards and maybe some carpet or laminate?

The home is older built 1955, I purchased the home as a foreclosure and have been living in it about a year and a half but everything looks sloppy and dirty as far as the moldings / baseboards, carpet, gaps and cracks in places, dirty a little bit so I just want to start with new stuff that I can keep clean etc.

Also thinking about remodeling the bathroom, it’s small so should be pretty easy, just new vanity, tile floor, tub and shower door and waynes coat etc. Maybe included with the other work.

Answer by De Commoner
Bathroom would be ,500 it would be cheaper if your list was lower but if you pay someone its ,500
Whole house drywall and minor carpentry like addling crown/base molding ,000
Whole House Carpet is ,000-,000. 2.50-3.00sq ft
Trash 0-0 1or 2 container
Laminated wood is 3-4 buck a square feet. I’m guessing its ,200 for a small-medium area like a kitchen. about 400sq ft

It’s ,000 if you do it yourself or ,000 if you hire someone.
This is my guess but get an estimation from a general contractor.

Question by oneafter99: Dust Freee House?
Hi, I am allergic to Dust in the house. How can I keep my house dust free? I live with two short hair dogs, I have no carpet flooring anywhere, but tile and laminate wood. I also have 3 iRobot that suck up pretty much everything from dirt to smaller particle without spitting anything out. But I guess when I handle the machine I get some reaction. I do not wish to leave the dogs out side, they are both indoor dogs and are companion for me.

Question by Brian S: CAT PISS SMELL OUT OF MY HOUSE! PLZ HELP! OZONE MACHINE?
Hello! I have spent THOUSANDS (LITTERALLY) on cat cleaning products. I have searched countless DAYS on the internet on how to get rid of cat urin smell out of my house! I have one dog and 6 cats. AND I CANNOT GET RID OF MY CATS! It would break our hearts! I can’t seem to find anything to get rid of the cat piss smell. We have torn up our carpet and replaced it in the living room and the upstairs! THAT has HELPED loads! But it comes out of our heating vents too. Does anyone know if an ozone machine will work for in the crawlspace? The only access to it is from outside and is very LOW, so you can only crawl under there, but were trying to avoid doing that! This smell WILL NOT GO AWAY! I ahve tried everything on our kitchen floors and back porch which is cement. Will a sealer work for the cement and laminate floors in the house? Someone please help!

Maybe there is something stuck in your pipes or something that is making the smell. Or maybe your cat just need a good bath. Or maybe your house needs a spring clean. No offence
