Good morning,
We have an 1,100 sq ft ranch, with full basement almost as large. We want to remodel it to make a legal accessory apartment in about 70% of the space. Remaining area would be an office for us, plus storage. Project involves a LOT including digging down sublevel to create outdoor stairs and entry. We want to have a paying tenant by late Spring. We live in Suffolk County, LI. OUR QUESTIONS 1) What’s a reasonable budget for this whole thing. 2) Who should head up this project, an architect or a builder/designer? How do we find someone who does quality work and can work with a budget? We’ve been trying to reach a couple of recommended contractors but they have not returned our calls.
Thanks… Carla
