Estimated Costs to Repair, Replace, or Upgrade

The following estimated costs to repair/replace/upgrade certain components and/or systems have been compiled with the help of many local builders, engineers, remodelers, and service contractors. They are intended to be used only as ballpark estimates to assist in establishing a general maintenance budget and for general information.

These costs are approximate estimates based on 2006 data, and should not be construed as a bid to repair/replace/upgrade a certain component or system, nor is it a guarantee that a specific contractor will perform the work for these exact costs. These costs should be adjusted for inflation and the local market. Actual bids can vary from contractor to contractor, and it is strongly suggested that a minimum of three (3) bids from competent and licensed contractors be reviewed prior to authorizing any work.
