Rehab costs Philly area

[Dan Sager]

Can anyone from the Philadelphia area tell me what it has costing on average for a cosmetic rehab or full rehab per square foot?  Hard to get a good feel with inflation! Thank you!

Here’s what I’ve been hearing for your standard 900-1200 SF row home here in Philly

Guts assuming no structural, no digging, finishing basement, HVAC, hardwoods, island or wrap around bar counter space, quartz/granite, recess lighting on first floor, add a full bathroom in the basement:

For B class (ex: west Germantown/mt. Airy, south philly, brewerytown): 100-120k ($100-120/sf KINDA)

C Class (ex: East Germantown, olney, most of Cobbs/Kingsessing outside of what is right by baltimore and over the tracks from squirrel hill) 90-110k depending on condition

Cosmetic jobs take the bottom value and maybe put a new range 20k lower. I’m assuming by cosmetic you mean that you are not ripping out walls so you have duct work where you add a condenser, decent electric, Sheetrock or plaster in good shape, plumbing you can keep.
