Vince asked:

I have gotten quotes (for labor only) all over the place, ranging from 10-35K to do what I wanted. I don’t know what the fair price would be. Any suggestion?

Doing it myself is not an option because I can’t even handle a hammer properly (found out the hard way after I did the demolition of the basement bathroom)

I am remodeling a home and wanted to do the below list. The house is approximately 1950 sq. ft.

1) remove ~1300 sq. ft of popcorn ceiling and replace with texture ceiling
2) remove carpet and install tile ~850 sq.ft.
3) remove carpet and install pre-finished hardwood floor ~600 sq.ft
4) remove carpet on stair and stair rail and replace with hardwood plank stair tread and modern rail (20 steps and 4 3×3 landing areas)
5) remove old tile in 2 bathrooms and replace with new tile and and tile bathroom floors.
6) Install a standing shower in basement (bathroom already there, I ripped it out to stud) and tile the floor and fixing ceiling.
7) replacing (the whole house) old & tired looking baseboard and doors, windows trim with new baseboard and trim 8) sanded the current door jam and painted same color with new trim
9) paint the whole house with 4 different colors

I need to find a cost estimator for general contractors for some home remodeling projects such as doors, windows, roof, trim, drywall, ect. Is there a website where I can plug in dimensions of my project and get an estimate of what a general contractor will charge?
