Building contractors here?
 

I'm looking for a rough estimate...the cost of adding a room to a 1970's ranch style house, say 25X30...a home game room. Forced air heat, good wiring for lights & stuff...no plumbing. I'm wondering if the $ I could sell my car for could pay for something like this?

Thanks for the advice...here in rain country, poured foundation, crawl space underneath pretty much a must. Sturdy flooring, 10-12' ceilings preferred..too many chalk marks on low ceilings. Peaked roof with 40 year composite shingles. Flat roofs don't work where it rsains 4' a year. Yeah, I want a game room, suitable for a 9' pool table. Thinking of giving up the whole P-car scene, doing a bit more of the staying home thing. What's my car worth? Uh, considering it's age, quite a bit...mid 5 figures. But really, I want to know the cost of a good game room...all the comforts except "wet".

I use $100 per sq ft as a rough estimate and it's been very close!

Paul,
You could plan on $100 - $125 per square foot depending on finish level.

Here is what we have been doing to our house... I'm sticking with the "$100 per sq ft" rule...

Gulp! Thanks guys...guess my car isn't enough to realize this dream...:(

Yep, tables are heavy...now realizing that for the cost of adding on I could rent a lot of table time, including the 90 mile round trip to the nearest decent 9' tables...Damn, thought I may have had a plan.

All good tips...believe me, don't think I want to park my Porsche near the hall with the good 9' tables. ;)
