About to get ripped off by some contractors...anyone care to provide estimates on some repairs? (NJ)

Soo....Im about to buy the 'worst house' in a good neighborhood. Im kinda poor though. Its about 1300sq ft. Similar to: https://www.redfin.com/NJ/Roselle-Park/511-Oakwood-Ave-07204/home/38038191#schools

Now..... I'm just trying to get super ball park figures on a routine tlc on a 1300sq ft colonial. I'm already getting the "im too busy to give a estimate" run around.

Generally speaking:

Home is 1300 and in 'good shape'.

How much would it cost to paint the whole house? (materials + labor).

How much would it cost to rip out carpet and install vinyl flooring? (eg. 2.99 sq ft home depot planks).

How much would it cost to replace these cabinets for contractor grade white cabinets?

How much would it cost to add a shitter to the basement, where if there is already lines for a washer/dryer? Just the plumbing I can build the walls and rest of the mini half bath.

Obviously Ill do all of this over time, but maybe the flooring and paint while the house is empty.

Any info would be appreciated so that I know if the contractors are going full fuck you prices. Thanks!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
