What are the most expensive items to repair in a home?
I'm looking to buy a house and trying to balance which updates are a must and which I can get done myself.
I'm wondering about kitchen cabinets, appliances (washer, dryer, fridge, stove), tiling in floors and walls, , tub and sink replacement, plumbing, painting, deck installation, fence installation, granite counter, roof, windows, carpeting, refinishing decks or floors, doors, molding, etc.
estimated pricing would be helpful
When buying a home, prior to purchase I highly recommend a home inspection, which will tell you what needs to be done and in what order, as well as give you a clear picture of the cost involved. Possibly saving you from purchasing a nightmare of a home. Well worth the expense.
Plumbing, heating and electrical are things that may have to involve contractors which come at a cost. My experience was the first two were the most expensive, but all are functions of the house that are a must have. I would also put the roof as a priority as well.
The rest of the items you have mentioned could be DIY items, and ones that you could pay as you can afford. They add value, but keep in mind they are merely cosmetic.
