New here! Quick question.

tmichelsons

Hi everyone, was looking around for some home improvement sites and stumbled across this one! From what i have read everyone has some great ideas and helpful information so i thought i would ask a quick question.

My wife and i are currently looking at purchasing a house, it has a Laundry room addition that is incomplete and i wanted to get an idea on what would be needed to complete it, cost, things i could do myself etc.




We understand it is an old house, has had some upgrading and a single bedroom added onto the garage, it is defiantly a fixer'uper! But we are excited and thinking it would be fun building and upgrading the house as a whole.


the addition to the garage.

Any information would be very helpful, thanks in advance.

Has the existing work been permitted and inspected - are there building plans? You need to ensure you don't have to tear anything out and re-do.

yes all work is permitted and inspected
i know i can have a contractor come in and do it all for me, just wondering if there was much i could do myself

Not knowing what your skills and capabilities are, one cannot advise what you can and cannot do yourself specfically. Looks like a flat roof - that would typically be contracted out. The exterior appears to be stucco, again likley to be contracted out. Setting windows and doors, electrical, interior finishing, flooring - all things you can probably do or figure out. Appears to be slab on grade - so rough plumbing is already mostly in? You can likley finish the plumbing. Hard to tell from the picture what is needed for the room at the garage.

Find quality contractors and pay them to finish.

Yeah, that's one way to go - but kinda goes against the basic intent of this site. A project of this size is likely doable via a combination of DIY and hired pros, unless the OP has skills and experience to do it all.
