Please know you are forever in our hearts, Megan, Rick, Brooke & Steve The cost of home ownership Welcome to May. This month we're going to look at some of the costs associated with owning a home. For this we're using a typical four bedroom, two bath single-level home with an attached garage that has approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of living space for pricing purposes. Starting with exterior and in- terior paint: to complete the ex- terior paint with standard colors and paints, expect to pay $4,200 to $4,500. Interior would roughly run around the same, just going with the basics. Got termites? Expect to pay $1,700-$1,800 for tenting alone. Got a leaky roof? Get ready to shell out around $15,000 for a tear off and re-shingle with asphalt shingle. It's around $22,000 for a tile roof. With electricity use on the rise, install a new electrical panel for somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000, with new plugs and switches running about $45 each. For a re-wire of the home, expect to pay close to $25,000. Ready to hit the shower and there is only cold water? Have a 40-gallon water heater installed for approximately $2,175 and a 50-gallon for about 50 bucks more. Spring a leak? That might come in for a PEX re-pipe close to $10,000 - $12,000. A main clean out installed in the front of the house might bust in at around $3,500. Last but not least, let’s get ready for summer. Guests are on their way over and BAM the AC goes out. To have the HVAC replaced, you’re looking at a cool $9,000 - $12,000, depending on brand and efficiency. I hope this helps to prepare you for what the future may bring or if you’re just looking for things to do around the house.
