i've been looking at 2nd hand houses because i'm an average salaryman in bolehland.
but i'm kind of lost when i viewed some houses with need for obvious repair / renovation to make it 'good enough' to stay in
i hope i can get an estimate on some common damages so that i can calculate and include the renovation fees into my budget...

i'm in need of advice from those who have experience in getting renovations or especially those in renovation field to help give opinion on how much these renovation below costs.

Estimated cost to replace/renovate?
a) Toilet renovation - if i want to replace both sink and toilet bowl (refer to pic from one of the houses i viewed)

b) leakage seeping out of toilet door in master room. how to fix and estimate cost?

c) Staircase from wooden+ steel to cement + tile cost?

d) Gate renovation. if i just want to change it into a simple gate which is wider to fix the 20ft dimension how much to change the gate?
e) how much to remove the cement floor in car porch and replace with tiles?

f) 2nd floor ceiling 'caved in' -refer to pics. i think the roof have water seeping in, causing the asbestos ceiling to cave in.
how much am i looking if i wan to fix the roof?
how about changing the asbestos ceiling entirely for the medium room?

g) for damaged wooden door @ bathrooms, cost to replace a basic plastic door? (dont have to b a fancy one..)


looking forward to replies for all the sifus out there
& thanks in advance

bro, ur in reno field?
can u giv me the breakdown of each of these??

of coz cannot lA...
what also dun have...
size, spec..
ur description above so rough...
location also din state

First, I have no experience in reno field.

But there are 2 things quite a concern in the photo.
1) the leakage seeping to the wall. It could be easy fix or expensive one. be careful and confirm with someone on this.
2) Roof leakage. I don't think you should go cheap to get this fixed because if it occurs again it could be quite troublesome and costly to fix. This should be carefully dealt with.

yes, i had the same opinion too. its one of the most un appealing thing.
