I need a skilled handyman type for a basement redo. How much would this job cost?

Question

1. sheet rock - 2 strips of sheetrock, rehang a double door to make it a single door, put up sheet rock in a small closet under the stairs, build up a wall for half a staircase and/or need a 1/2 a banister built.

2. hang lighting, mostly track lighting, I believe all the wiring is there.

3. I also need to have a drop in type ceiling put up. The framing is there but may need repair in a couple places.

If I paid 1 person cash to do it all what would be a good price?

Answer 1

Although you've supplied lots of detail, the best way to find out is to get a couple of handymen to give you an estimate. Any reputable handyman will be prepared to give a no-obligation estimate - if they won't do this, don't use them! When they come to give you an estimate, they can see exactly what needs doing, so that they can give an accurate estimate. And get more than one estimate - that way you can get the best price and be sure that you're not paying over the odds. Good luck!
