    Unhappy Costs of repairs

    Hi All

    I / we have recived a quote for repair of a range of house stuff - repair of verandah and replacement of bullnose, repair of bearers/joists, replacement of floor in bedrooms, and the addition of new bearer under the lounge floor - to me it seems a little high - any advice most welcome:

    Verandah ($6000) - see photo
    remove existing decking, joists, bearers and stumps
    supply and fit new concrete stumps
    supply and fit new F17 KD bearers / joists
    supply, fit and stain jarrah decking

    V Roof ($3500)
    remove existing iron and supply new iron
    replace a damaged hip rafter and common rafter near front door
    repair a damaged facia board on gable (repair end only)
    make good any disturbed paving

    Bedrooms 1 & 2 / living room ($9,000) - bedrooms are 4 x 3.5
    remove flooring
    straighten existing floor joists
    check hall subfloor while floor is up
    supply / fit new particle board flooring - gluded and nailed
    (includes hypothesized replacement of 4 joists and 4 stumps)
    supply and fit new bearer under lounge and 3 stumps (whilst bed floor is up) - to remove any excessive floor bounce.


    There are a few other items but these are the main ones. I'm presuming that stumps wont be necessary because the housewas restumped in concrete around 10 years ago - so unless any thing has moved dramatically...

    Any input would be great.

    Cheers

    Default Roof repair quotes

    Greetings Mickey,

    Not identical to your job but some information:

    Quotes for a 12.5 sq house in Melbourne:
    replacing cement tiled roof with colourbond ~ $7000.00, replace gutters $1300
    repainting cement tiled roof, rebedding and pointing and new gutters $4500, $4400, ($3000 if no rebedding and not replace valley iron or chimney flashing)
    cheers
    David
