How much does it cost to renovate a second-hand house in Lanzhou? How much does it cost per square meter to renovate an old house?

Generally speaking, the cost of remodeling a previously lived-in home will be about 10% higher than a new home renovation. If there were more decoration, it would be more than 20% higher. In addition, if you choose the semi-packaged method for renovation, the cost per square meter will basically be more than 500 yuan. If all methods are used, the decoration cost per square meter will be as high as more than RMB 1,000.

1. Reinstall the walls and floors

Most existing houses have been in use for a long time, and it is very likely that cracks and mold have appeared on the wall surface, so it is impossible to save on this part of the renovation cost. If you can still use the original waterproof exterior wall putty, you can choose wall cloth to cover the cracked parts of the wall that need to be repaired. The cost is usually 15 yuan/square meter. However, if the waterproof putty on the wall falls off, the original putty should be removed and then repainted. The labor cost for removing putty is about 4 yuan/m2, and the cost of repainting is 15-20 yuan/m2.

The floor is mainly decorated with floorboards or floor tiles, and the original floor decoration materials must be removed first. The labor cost for removing floor tiles from the surface of the living room and window sills is generally 40 yuan/square meter. The cost of replacing the floor is 80-120 yuan/square meter, and the cost of floor tiles is 100-150 yuan/square meter. This cost is affected by the brand and quality selected.

2. Water circuit reconstruction

The most important part of the previous house renovation was the renovation of the water circuit, which was also the difficulty and focus of the entire project. The water pipes used in old houses are likely to be galvanized pipes, which may have many unreasonable aspects, and the cables also have problems such as long-term aging and leakage. So basically hydropower has to be restructured. The cost of water and electricity rectification is about 70-110 yuan per square meter.

3. Cost of reinstalling doors and windows

If the doors and windows of the house were damaged before, they need to be reinstalled. This proportion is relatively large. The price of a solid wood door is generally more than 2,000 yuan, while an ordinary molded door is relatively cheap, costing only around 500 yuan. For bedroom doors, you can choose according to your budget. For glass doors in cooking areas and bathrooms, the price ranges from 800 to 1,500 yuan. This part also includes some hardware costs for door and window installation, which is generally around 300 yuan.

4. Rebuilding the roof

The original shape of the roof must first be removed. If the wooden glass roof is complicated, it is difficult to disassemble, so the cost is relatively high. The general labor cost is about 440 yuan/square meter. The labor cost of the redesigned roof was 808 yuan per square meter and the material cost was 1,077 yuan.
