Massachusetts Rehab Costs

Matt Thomas
  • Worcester, MA
Posted

Hello,

I recently purchased and read @jscott's book on estimating rehab costs.  It was very informative and helpful, but as the book mentions, labor costs vary widely across the country so there is no way that every market could be covered.  I was wondering if anyone from the Massachusetts area has also used this book as a reference and whether or not the labor estimates seem to be close to what is actually being charged around here?

@Matt Thomas We operate in the greater Boston area. The cost vary by project size and area. Worcester projects most likely will be a little cheaper than Boston. I read J Scott's book and its excellent but labor prices in our area are much higher. Reach out to me if you need help and I will share what we are paying for our rehab projects.
