Smoking room $$ question

mikeyj23 · 06-30-2009, 02:15 PM

Wife and I looking into buying a house, and contemplating turning an extra bedroom into a man cave. I'm aware of the builds that CA members have done on their own, and the famous Mark THS basement build. Roughly how much would it cost to have a contractor retrofit a bedroom rather than doing it on my own? I'm assuming that supplies would be in the range of $1500-2000, but how much would the contracting cost?

The room would be roughly 11x11 and likely the only aesthetic change would be laminate or tile floors rather than carpet (which I can do on my own). I'd just need to contract out the HVAC modification and exhaust work.

Any rough estimates?
