[@-DIYPRO-]

Thanks!

[@frank921rivera]

so sad. im spending at least 80k on my 560 sqft addition..and im doing all the work! broke ground april 2021. your new home looks great.

[@-DIYPRO-]

It's pretty crazy how much material and labor has gone up. Hopefully you can make it through to the end without going too much over.

[@bmbc6391]

Wow, completely different!

[@-DIYPRO-]

It's crazy how quickly you forget what the old was.

[@makerx2015]

Muito bom curtindo os videos aqui parabéns um abraço do canal maker x

[@-DIYPRO-]

Muito Obrigado!

[@betsyresto36]

Does anybody know the name of wall color

[@kaalayah4199]

finna go build a house

[@-DIYPRO-]

Done!

[@thetruthhurts9220]

Wow! Looks incredible! How much did this increase your equity?

[@-DIYPRO-]

Home prices in general have gone crazy since we did this so it's hard to tell an exact amount.

[@rollandelliott]

looks great. so you farmed out the foundation, framing and did everything else?

[@-DIYPRO-]

Yep! Took a lot longer but saved a ton of $$

[@lillyalfonso9816]

Amazing work! Where are you located ? I’d love to get mine done too

[@-DIYPRO-]

Utah

[@Hello-zf5lq]

Did you have to bring the rest of the house up to code because of doing the alteration?

[@-DIYPRO-]

Yes and no. The existing wasn't too old so there wasn't much that needed to be updated. The main thing our inspector cared about was the new smoke alarms had to be tied into the existing.

[@andieh.1444]

Great video! Stumbled upon this while planning our home addition. How long did all this work take you? Also I saw your initial budget was $94k. How much did this project end up being? Thank you.

[@-DIYPRO-]

Time is hard to say because I still have a small list of things that need to be finished (the honeydo list won't ever go away) but the kitchen was done in 5 months so we'll go with that. With the addition we were right about 80K, yes that was prior to all the crazy material price increases. We were able to use the extra for our new fence, sprinklers, couches, and a TV so in the end we came right on budget.

[@davidfrisch5538]

Awesome addition , and great work man, any chance you refi and got the house appraised? Did the 80k investment pay for its self

[@-DIYPRO-]

Thanks, with the awesome rates we did a refi. Our market has been crazy the last couple years so my house value has far surpassed the 80k we put into it.

[@vivettew9422]

I would like to hire you to do my home addition program please.

[@-DIYPRO-]

This was a one time deal for me. If I start up a business I'll let you know!

[@hellohere291]

Great job! What’s your addition’s square footage?

[@-DIYPRO-]

It was about 950 sq. ft.

[@hellohere291]

@@-DIYPRO- I can’t believe the cost is 80k, you might did a lot of work yourself.

[@-DIYPRO-]

@@hellohere291 I did do a bunch myself. Also we did it right at the beginning of 2020 prior to the crazy price increase and insane recent inflation.

[@-DIYPRO-]

@@hellohere291 Our neighbors have been getting quotes from contractors for about the same work we did and they are coming in at $250k

[@J3rbski]

I am looking to add 1000sqft to our home and I'd love to know what all you did to keep the price down. Thanks for sharing!

[@-DIYPRO-]

It was right before the material hike at the end of 2020. We have some friends trying to do the same thing right now and it's about triple the cost.

[@J3rbski]

@@-DIYPRO- Yeah that sounds about right, thanks for the response!

[@melissawarnick8782]

Did you pay to have it done or did you do it all yourself

[@-DIYPRO-]

I hired out the foundation, framing, HVAC, and drywall. I did all the little things in between.

[@bigblood9748]

How much do you charge

[@-DIYPRO-]

Since I have another full time job I just do this for me on the side.

[@vivettew9422]

I would like you to do my home addition projects .Could you please provide contact info?

[@-DIYPRO-]

This was a one time deal for me. If I start up a business I'll let you know!

[@easypimpin123]

Aint no chance on god green flat earth did you get all this done for under $80,000. That kitchen alone and all the plumbing and electrical would be $50,000 by itself.

[@-DIYPRO-]

There is a chance since we did it! Take note we did it at the beginning of 2020 prior to all the crazy material price increases and now insane inflation. It also helped that I was the GC and did half the labor myself.

[@timfowler7107]

i’m a GC also and you did an amazing job. I loved the hardwood but that original natural color was sooooo nice i would have just clear coated it and let it stay light.. Either way it’s still nice.
