Hello All,

Thank you in advance.
Pretty new to this blog and I am in the process of purchasing a townhouse in Bed Stuy.

So right now I am estimating renovation cost. From what I can see the lights and plumbing is in working order. It looks like a little water damage happened on the top floor bathroom but I don’t know if its old or not. (Inspector is coming next week.)

On the cheap if I wanted to just have the electrician and plumber do minor work like add new electrical outlet or have plumber update a pipe or two to accommodate a new modern sink. How much would that cost? I estimated about 2,000. Am I crazy ?

From what I can see there has been little or no work to the place which is good and bad at the same time.. But I have heard and read horrible stories of having to replace entire plaster, electric and plumbing.

I just need some help. I am pretty handy as far as hanging cabinets, flooring and walls but I am not electrician or plumber.

Please advise.
