    2020 Cost to Finish an Attic | Remodeling & Renovation …

    - December 3, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Cleaning out the attic: $110 - $160

    Before renovation, you'll need to clear out your attic. You'll need to remove your stuff, clean any water damage, damage fromrodent or pest problems, and possibly remove insulation.

    You can do this yourself or hire a professional cleaning and insulation service to give your attic the clean slate it needs. The averagecost of a professional attic cleaningranges from $110 to $160.

    You will need to install new insulation to make the space habitable. To add attic insulation, expectinstallation to cost between $800 - $3,500, including materials and labor for a professional to add it.

    Many homeowners use spray foam insulation in their attics, since it's easy to use in new construction with open and unfinished walls and attic spaces. Expect to pay between $3 to $5 per square foot on average nationwide to have spray foam injected into an existing home.

    Not only is proper insulation a key step to finishing your remodel, it can also help decrease your overall heating and air conditioning costs.

    Many attics don't have finished floors you would want in a normal living space. You will need toinstall the new floors, and possibly subfloors as well. The cost of adding flooring and subfloors varies based on material.

    Hardwood floorscost about $4,000 whilecarpetingcosts less than $2,500. Tile orlaminatefor the new bathroom floor costs between $1,000 to $2,000, depending on the size of the floor.

    Installing windows and skylights vary a lot in cost, but the average price toinstall a new window is $500. Adding a dormer window (a roof window that projects slightly from a sloping roof) or skylight can bring natural light into the space. Dormers can also add some much-needed height and change the character of the room, taking away the typical narrow A-line look of most attics.

    If your attic doesn't yet have it, you will need walls and dry walls.Drywall installation costsare, on average, between $375 to $1,500 for materials and professional installation roughly $30 and $60 per panel. If you're installing it on the ceiling too, double that amount.

    You willneed a carpenterto install walls, which costs about $1,900. For an attic ceiling, that will cost about $1,500. Most attic rooms also need to have basic baseboards added, which start at $1,000 to install.

    To complete your conversion of dark, dusty attic to bright, lounge-worthy loft, you'll need lights. Any electrical wiring, which includes new outlets and lights, will add to your costs.Lighting installation costsare $130 to $150, on average.

    Electricians typically chargebetween $45 to $120 an hour to run new wires, add new outlets and possibly install lighting and a ceiling fan. The total electrical cost for an attic remodel ranges between $1,300 and $3,000.

    The walls are up. The floors are finished. The windows are in. Once the heavy renovations have wrapped up, it's time to put the finishing touches on by painting the walls. You could either DIY this step or hire a professional to paint your walls. The cost to hire aninterior painterranges from $200 to $2,700, on average nationally.

    The new room may need to be attached to the existing HVAC system for heating and cooling. HVAC contractors charge on average between $50 to $120 an hour, depending on the work that needs to be done.

    If you're adding a bathroom, expect to pay an electrician on average between $50 and $200 an hour to install new pipes and drains for the bathroom as well as a sink, toilet and possibly a shower or bathtub. Not including the fixtures, plumbing costs for an attic renovation range from $1,000 to $1,500.

    The Home Guru: The Top Half-Dozen Home Updates That Pay Off – The Examiner News

    - December 3, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    By Bill Primavera

    Like most people, Im stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, contemplating the ceiling, floor and walls, along with all they encompass. Other people might be using this downtime to consider upgrades they could be incorporating into their homes, but thank God I live in a relatively new home where no updates are needed.

    I bought my condo new just five years ago and only had to add my personal touches, such as adding professional woodworking of fine furniture quality in each room.

    Had the pandemic visited us a few years ago when I was living in a 275-year-old farmhouse, it would have been a totally different story. From the time my wife and I moved in more than 40 years ago, until we downsized to our new home, we were in constant updating mode. While we always loved our surroundings, we never quite finished the job.

    If we were still living in our old home, I would be going nuts right now, making lists of the remodeling and upgrade work that needed to be done while sidelined by the pandemic. During the entire time I lived there, I was never able to just sit back and relax.

    Now, however, with an almost perverse delight, I checked in with HGTV for the first time in years to see what other homeowners were up to in upgrading their homes and how much money they were doling out to get the projects done.

    HGTV offered 15 top projects with the biggest returns on investment, but my mind would have exploded to consider all 15. I think a good half-dozen is all my brain can accommodate, even when its strictly for editorial consideration.

    Minor Bathroom Remodel

    Average return at resale: 102 percent

    It costs about $10,500 to replace the tub, tile surrounds, floor, toilet, sink, vanity and fixtures. Remove dated wall coverings and apply a fresh coat of paint. For damaged walls, spray-on texture provides quick coverage. The removal of old shower doors or replacing them with clear glass creates the illusion of space.

    Landscaping

    Average return at resale: 100 percent

    The average homeowner spends about $3,502 for landscaping and $1,465 on a designer, according to the American Nursery Landscape Association. Local garden centers often offer free design services. Sod costs about 30 to 35 cents a square foot, so a 5,000-square-foot yard would cost about $1,500 to sod.

    Minor Kitchen Remodel

    Average return at resale: 98.5 percent

    A minor kitchen remodel averages $14,913 for $14,691 at resale, a recoup rate of 98.5 percent. Do a minor remodel when your kitchen needs a cosmetic update and not a drastically different floor plan. A $15,000 kitchen update covers 30 feet of re-facing for cabinets and drawers, a new wall oven, cooktop, sink and fixtures, laminate countertops and resilient flooring.

    Exterior Improvements (including vinyl siding, paint, updated front entry)

    Average return at resale: 95.5 percent

    The average national cost to replace 1,250 square feet of vinyl siding: $7,239. Average return: $6,914, with a recoup rate of 95.5 percent. A gallon of paint covers 400 square feet of house. Upscale, fiber-cement siding costs $10,393 and returns $10,771 at resale, an even better recoup rate of 103.6 percent.

    Attic Bedroom Conversion

    Average return at resale: 93.5 percent

    The average attic bedroom in a two- or three-bedroom house costs $39,188 and returns $36,649 at resale. Adding attic insulation lowers utility bills, making sure the foil vapor barrier is installed down toward the ceiling to prevent moisture from seeping up. A solar-powered attic fan is an efficient way to save on cooling costs.

    Major Bathroom Remodel

    Average return at resale: 93.2 percent

    A major bathroom remodel involves expanding an existing 5-foot by 7-foot bathroom, relocating and replacing the tub and toilet and adding designer sinks and faucets, a linen closet, lighting, a ceramic tile floor and exhaust fan for $26,052, which brings in $24,286 at resale.

    These are just some of the ideas for upgrading the home that pay off best. If youre fully upgraded as I am, the pandemic can offer the welcome excuse to just sit back, relax and gain weight from the lack of physical activity, as Im doing.

    Here are the proposed rents and timeline for the 11-story apartment building OKd in Downtown Easton – lehighvalleylive.com

    - December 3, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Homes reaching 10 stories high on top of a ground floor commercial space will be coming to South Third and Ferry streets.

    The Easton Planning Commission on Wednesday night unanimously awarded conditional approval for an 11-story apartment building at 101 S. Third St.

    Matador Hospitality LLC owns the property that is the current home to a BB&T branch. The existing bank building will remain, and the developer is subdividing that from the rear of the property where the new project is planned.

    There will no longer be driveway access from the banks rear to South Bank Street.

    The new building will be accessible from Ferry Street and likely will be given a Ferry Street address from the city, according to Wednesdays planning commission discussion carried virtually via Zoom.

    Matador Hospitality principal Garrett Benner said construction could begin in the spring and conservatively take 15 months to complete.

    Benner previously said the new building, which he estimates will cost $17 million to build, is planned with 80 apartments comprising 20 studio spaces, 50 one-bedrooms and 10 two-bedroom units.

    The first floor will consist of 1,310 square feet of commercial space that is currently being considered for a caf or a restaurant.

    Benner said the studios spaces are tentatively priced for yearly leases at $1,100 to $1,300 per month, with one-bedrooms priced at $1,300 to $1,500 per month.

    The 11-story, 110-foot-tall building will take up most of the footprint of the lot. There will be no onsite parking but Benner said the city has agreed to enter into a long-term lease that will guarantee adequate parking spaces dedicated to the new building at nearby city-owned parking facilities.

    Project engineer David Wilson said Ferry Street will need to be dug into to tie into water lines for the building. Ferry Street eventually will receive new paving on the entirety of the building frontage.

    Benner said his company will work with Easton officials to coordinate how to stage traffic on the busy city streets during construction.

    We have a lot of experience of doing things in tight quarters, Benner said.

    The planners approval comes with conditions including that the developer adhere to comments and concerns of the city engineer, city forester, zoning administrator, fire department and codes department.

    Editors note: This article was updated to correct that the property is being subdivided into two parcels as part of the project.

    Swedish man who was hit and killed by van ‘may have looked the wrong way as he stepped in road’, inquest hears – Buckinhamshire Free Press

    - December 3, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A Swedish man who was hit by a van and suffered a fatal head injury may have been looking the wrong way as he crossed the road to get into his daughters car, an inquest has heard.

    Lars Roland Andersson who was known as Roland was visiting his family in Bourne End from his home in Malm in Sweden back in July when tragedy struck.

    The 66-year-old was waiting in the driveway of his daughter Malin Storeys house on Hedsor Road, close to the junction with Ferry Lane, at around 8.50am on July 9, so she could pick him up and take him to her new property in Marlow.

    Mrs Storey, who was driving a silver Mercedes, travelled past Flowerland and was heading down to her home and was indicating to turn right into her driveway while she waited for a white Ford Transit that was in the junction to pass.

    In a statement read out at an inquest in Mr Anderssons death on Wednesday afternoon, Mrs Storey said: I approached the junction and stopped about two metres from our driveway, which is virtually on the junction. My father way standing waiting.

    I saw a white van come from the Bourne End direction. I saw him indicating left to go onto Hedsor Road.

    I had stopped to wait for the van but he thought I was waiting for him. My assumption is that he looked left because thats the way they look in Sweden and he walked right out in front of the van.

    Mrs Storey watched in horror as her father was hit by the van and flew forward. He had suffered an obvious head injury.

    Her statement added: I put him in the recovery position. I screamed at the driver to call an ambulance.

    Everyone drives fast on the junction, but it doesnt matter how fast the van was going, my dad stepped out into the road.

    He was just trying to be nice to save me trying to go into the driveway. He took a step out and it cost him his life.

    Michael McCarthy, who was driving the van, said he was returning to Burnham from Bourne End after dropping his children off at school and was turning into Hedsor Road in the direction of Flowerland when he noticed a man on the pavement and a car on the other side of the road.

    He said: The man was looking towards the car. I didnt see any indication that he was going to cross the road. I heard a thud. I stopped almost immediately.

    Drivers and passengers from nearby vehicles stopped to help give Mr Andersson, a retired purchasing manager, CPR and South Central Ambulance and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance also attended but he tragically died of his injuries at the scene.

    A postmortem found that Mr Andersson had suffered skull, rib and pelvic ring fractures, as well as a brain contusion a severe traumatic injury.

    Thames Valley Police collision investigator Adrian White said the driver would have been doing a relatively low speed on the 30mph road and would have been too close to Mr Andersson to have been able to take any avoiding action.

    He said: A low speed collision would ordinarily be survivable, but unfortunately the mechanics of the impact meant he sustained a significant head injury.

    Malin said her father may have inadvertently looked left as he crossed the road as he would in his native Sweden. For whatever reason, it was an error of judgement and a collision was inevitable.

    Senior coroner for Buckinghamshire Crispin Butler said: It certainly seems clear the van was very proximate to Roland when he stepped into the road.

    It seems he was just trying to be helpful and cross the road to the vehicle he was going to get into.

    The van stopped very, very quickly so speed wasnt the issue here. He just hasnt seen the van. The family have my sympathy here, its utterly tragic what has happened here.

    He ruled Mr Andersson died as a result of a road traffic collision.

    Car care tips for the perfect storm of winter and COVID-19 – Chicago Daily Herald

    - December 3, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Coping with COVID-19 is frazzling enough without experiencing that clicking sound the car makes on a frigid morning or the infuriating sputtering noise as you pump the gas pedal.

    So here's a collection of our best winter -- and pandemic -- vehicle care tips, from warding off hibernating critters to the eternal question of how full should the gas tank be.

    For starters (no pun intended), if you're working from home and avoiding unnecessary trips, don't let your car stagnate -- it could result in a dead battery or immovable parking brake, auto professionals advise.

    Instead, take a drive every few days to refresh the battery. Simply turning the car on and letting it idle in the driveway will probably not be enough, former DuPage County Forest Preserve District fleet manager John Walton advised.

    Another good idea is to check the tire pressure before venturing out in cold weather. Tires should be properly inflated to the amount given in the vehicle owner's manual or on the inside vehicle door -- not to the amount shown on the tire, AAA advises. As the average temperature drops, so will tire pressure -- typically by 1 PSI for every 10 degrees.

    Also avoid using the parking brake when your car is on hiatus because it could freeze in place or cause the regular brake pads to rust.

    "With an automatic transmission, simply place the vehicle in park. If the car has a manual transmission, put it in first or reverse gear and use wheel chocks to help hold the vehicle in place," AAA's Molly Hart said.

    One question, for those who remember parents warming up the car in the driveway, is whether to allow the engine to run or to sally forth on a freezing morning.

    It comes down to how old your car is, car gurus explained. Vehicles manufactured since the early 1990s are equipped with electronic fuel injection and only need to warm up for a minute or so. Cars made before 1990 should run for at least five minutes.

    Another conundrum is whether your gas tank must be brimming in cold weather. The Illinois Department of Transportation recommends keeping it two-thirds full to prevent gas lines from freezing.

    Walton noted that gas freezes around minus-40 to minus-58 degrees. "What people think is gas freezing is usually water in the gas line that can freeze and block gas lines. Additives can be used, but I recommend only using additives that are recommended by the vehicle manufacturer," he said.

    Then there's unexpected crises as when rodents wintered in Jeanette Greco's college son's car.

    A family of squirrels "chewed many wires and we barely got it to our mechanic in time," Greco, of Hawthorn Woods, told us a few years back.

    Solutions offered by readers include sticking moth balls or mouse traps under the hood.

    Do hybrids need different treatment from regular cars in the extreme cold?

    "Most hybrid gasoline/electric cars will operate with the engine and not just a battery in (very) cold weather; as the car warms up the engine may stop and start," said Walton, chairman of the nonprofit Chicago Area Clean Cities organization. But, he advised consulting the owner's manual for specific instructions.

    Got a cold weather car care tip or question? Drop an email to mpyke@dailyherald.com.

    This may hurt a bit. IDOT crews will be resurfacing Meacham Road between Algonquin Road and Emerson Avenue in Schaumburg and Rolling Meadows starting today through summer 2021. Expect lane closures as workers resurface the pavement, build new shoulders and sidewalk ramps.

    Pace has closed indoor spaces at Elgin, Plainfield and Harvey until further notice because of surging COVID-19 cases. The move coincides with tighter state restrictions that were recently announced. Buses will continue to pick up and deliver passengers but Ventra vending machines will not be available.

    The Chicago Department of Aviation is seeking vendors to provide rapid and molecular COVID-19 tests for employees and passengers at Midway and O'Hare international airports. Last week, the CDA opened up a drive-up testing site at Midway. The goal is to offer the services before the December holidays. O'Hare will offer a walk-up site before security check-in in the terminal core and a drive-up site in a remote parking lot, officials said. Midway will provide a walk-up site inside the terminal.

    Work starts on $3.5 million alley initiative in Dougherty County – The Albany Herald

    - December 3, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    ALBANY Dougherty Countys alley paving initiative got off the ground this week with a groundbreaking at the intersection of Regina and Red Bud lanes.

    That first alley on the list, Poinciana, is located near Radium Springs Elementary School. The Radium Springs area was selected because a group of residents brought their concerns to the Dougherty County Commission in 2017. The residents expressed concerns that alleys in the neighborhood were both a driving hazard and a health hazard, and they presented photos showing large pools of water standing in alleyways behind residences.

    This has been a concern for both myself and these residents for some time, District 2 Commissioner Victor Edwards, who appeared with the delegation at the 2017 meeting prior to his election to the board. We are excited to see this project being started, and I know it will improve the life of our residents for years to come.

    Edwards lives in the neighborhood where the first project is under way.

    The alley-paving projects will be paid for using funds from the transportation special-purpose local-option sales tax approved last year by county voters. The T-SPLOST funds can be used for transportation projects that include roads, streets, road striping and sidewalks.

    The penny sales tax is expected to raise $26.4 million over five years. The county plans to use $10 million for road improvements, $7 million for special-purpose trails, $3 million for intersection improvements and $1.4 million for sidewalks. The allocation for alleys totals $3.5 million.

    District 6 Commissioner Anthony Jones, who was a proponent of the project when it was brought to the boards attention in 2017, said his constituents in the bordering district also will benefit.

    Its exciting to see this project coming to life for these residents, he said. This will provide a safer and healthier pathway in and out of driveways for our residents, and we are thankful that T-SPLOST dollars were approved to make this happen.

    Athol: Lord Pond walk part of vulnerability planning initiative – Athol Daily News

    - December 3, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    ATHOL Athol residents are invited to join town officials for a site walk of Lord Pond Plaza this Saturday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The walk will facilitate a feasibility assessment of the shopping area to determine if much of what is now pavement can be converted into urban green space, and whether efforts should be taken to once again allow Mill Brook which runs under the plaza to see the light of day.

    One of the things the town has been talking about for many years has been trying to redevelop and kind of clean up the whole sea of concrete at Lord Pond Plaza, said Athol Planning and Development Director Eric Smith. For some time, weve been trying to find a way to challenge what funding we could use, to try to get some money to further these planning efforts.

    Smith said it was striking how the plaza stood out when a map of urban heat islands in downtown Athol was completed under a state Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Action Grant received by the town. The first meeting aimed at hammering out details of an MVP plan was held in March of this year.

    If you look at the (heat island) map, you see a red bulls eye right in downtown, said Smith. Part of downtown includes Lord Pond Plaza and that sea of concrete. So, with the support of our state MVP representative, Andrew Smith he was encouraging us to proceed with a feasibility assessment of redeveloping Lord Pond Plaza, which would incorporate nature-based solutions, you know, green infrastructure, like collecting more of the rain water before it becomes storm water runoff maybe explore daylighting the buried Mill Brook, which has been buried ever since they filled in that area.

    Its called Lord Pond Plaza for a reason, because it was Lord Pond at one time, before they created the plaza and paved over the pond. So, this is literally an example of where they paved over paradise and put in a parking lot.

    It was a pond, a working pond with a mill on it, at one time. Still, it was a drastic change and its been that way since at least we dont have the exact records of when that transpired but somewhere in the late 40s, early 50s is what I ascertained by looking at some deed information.

    Its hoped the public will take part in Saturdays walk and provide some ideas on how to improve the area, not only to reduce the impact of potential environmental emergencies, but also as part of the towns ongoing downtown revitalization efforts.

    Obviously, we also need to take a look at the traffic flow in the area, Smith continued. Thats another issue people want to take a look at to see if theres a way to kind of slow down traffic, make it safer for pedestrians.

    Right now, anyone who ever goes to the Senior Center or Council on Aging, or any of those services there, or Job Lot as soon as you leave those businesses, youre right in the driveway. Theres no separation.

    One idea floated is the creation of some green space between businesses/offices and the parking area. In fact, said Smith, there has been talk of creating more green space in general, while also creating space for community activities.

    We might like to put in more trees, additional greening. Theres been discussion of maybe trying to put some kind of area where we could do events, festivals, farmers markets that kind of thing. Theres kind of like wasted space behind the Senior Center that could be used for picnic tables or some raised garden beds, things like that

    So, thats kind of the idea, but we obviously need to get public engagement. Thats part of this process. We built that into the (grant) proposal and the scope. So, in the early phases of this project we want to have this site walk.

    Smith said the idea for the site walk arose from the limitations on indoor meetings imposed by COVID-19 restrictions.

    We decided, he concluded, instead of doing a Zoom meeting, lets actually get out there and see the area and discuss it with interested abutters, the community as a whole, people who might be going to the Senior Center, people like that.

    So, what well do Saturday morning is meet out in front of the Senior Center/Council on Aging office, give a short little overview of the project, then walk around the site. We really do hope folks will take the time to join us.
