Replacing an Extension
Does anyone have a recommendation and general estimate to remove and then replace a separating 5x20 brick 2-story extension? Thanks.

You may want to contact EuroStar Renovations at 718-846-1039. They do a lot of great work in the neighborhood and their quotes are decent. You would probably need to go into a bit more detail with them by phone. They helped my husband & I with a similiar project.

That is going to depend on a couple factors. First, are you going to use the foundation the current extension sits on? A structural engineer will probably have to evaluate. If you build a new foundation that means a big dig. A big dig usually effects the neighbors and it becomes a headache.
Also, can you build more than the 5 by 20 two story extension? If yes, you should just stick it out and build the maximum. Once you get into that type of renovation you should consider going all the way.
Also, it will depend on the amount of plumbing and electrical that is needed in the extension. Are bathrooms situated there? The price goes up when fixtures are needed, etc.
Roughly, this project will cost you between $150-$250 a foot depending on the above factors.
My sister just built an extension on 5th Street in Park Slope and had a great contractor who is bright and respectful. His name is Pete G and his number is 3474160381. His company is Ifathom Construction Corp. He can properly evaluate the situation and help you find the right architect/engineer as well.
Good luck!
