In Cleveland, Ohio,

On average, what is the cost per sq ft to remodel a portion of current home, say a basement?

On average, what is the cost per sq ft to build a new residential home?

I know the questions leave a lot of variables unanswered, but all I need to know now is a good working cost per sq ft in Cleveland, OH for most new home construction and a good working cost per sq ft for most remodel projects – particularly basements.

Thanks!

The cost / Sq foot is going to be pretty close to the same..about $100-$120/sq ft. However, the basement may be less if nothing needs to gutted or re-plumbed or new electrical. Then your probably looking at only $75-100. Hope that helps.

Hire a good local handyman.Working on a mobile home is no big deal.A handyman will give you a good days work for a good price.

I’d actually go buy a book on this subject. There are usually encyclopedia type things that have all you need to know about plumbing, dry-walling, etc. They are very useful for reference, because you’ll need to refer to it constantly while doing the job and you don’t want to have to get up and check the computer all the time. I suppose you could print out some stuff, but i think the books are a better go. I also found this website:

Has a lot of useful tips on random things when I was working on various parts of my house. You can just search around and see whats there. Some things are useful, others, not so much. Good luck

What state are you in. California has CSLB or California State Lisence Board that has all the information on good contractors. I know Nevada has one too. Go to somewhere like Home Depot and go to the contractors desk, they usually have some contractor cards or information there on contractors that they use. You can even contract Home Depot and they will back up the remodel, they do EVERYTHING

We are framing in some rooms in an unfinished basement. My husband has done this professionally and wants to find a compressor and nailer to make the work faster, but he has only used professional ones at the work site. We need to know what size and power we would need for one/possibly two nailers to run simultaneously on a diy project. Also, what are some good brands? Thanks!

Definitely go with a quick-recovery compressor. Most two-tank units are quick-recovery, but check the specs before purchasing. Those will also tell you if you can run two nailers off of it.
