Hi brownstoners –

We’re looking at an old brownstone to buy, but before we put in a bid, we’d like to do a walkthrough with someone who can give us ballpark figures for what needs fixing. This is our first foray into home ownership and we’re excited and terrified about renovating. Before I make a bid, I want to have a vague idea of how much more money we’re going to shell out to get things going properly.

Thanks for any recommendations of people and/or estimates on things like a new roof, fixing wood floors around old radiators, etc.
