6) flooring guy

Does this sounds right?
Need a finisher (trims, hanging doors)

& that would just about cover it.

24K without flooring is probably very close if you get someone to take care of everything. You might be 5K less if you act as your own general contractor.

I did my entire basement myself for under 15K (closer to 10K I think, never added the $$ up) It took me 3 years to do though. But my bacground is construction/design, the only thing I didn't do myself is electrcial (friend is an journyman) & the drywall. Oh, carpet in 2 bedrooms & floor tile in the bathroom was hired out. I did everything else, including a tiled shower.

Being your own general contractor is not that difficult, but you will need some time to follow up on subs.
