Is $35,000 to repair foundation with 18 jacks, vapor guard, and new wood a fair price?
Project Details
My husband and I bought our house 5 years ago when we were 21. We knew it was an older house but were unaware of the extent of the foundation issues, which our inspection did not fully cover in the crawlspace. We discovered the significant damage and need for support beams when we had the foundation looked at before getting our floors done. This is a starter home, and we have multiple things we want to change. I'm unsure if the foundation repair is worth it since we don't plan to live here forever, despite loving the location and land. We owe less than $150,000 on the house. I'm seeking advice on whether a construction loan would be a good option or what others recommend.
