I am thinking about purchasing the house I am currently renting. The problem is, there are only two bedrooms. It use to have three bedrooms, but a wall was knocked down to add on a back family room. I want to find out if it is possible to add a wall back up, but still leave access to the backroom. I also want to get an estimate before I decide to purchase. I am in West Covina, thanks!

oh i thought maybe probs with the hubby

LOL....today on the news there was a head line about married couples having seperate master bedrooms....very interesting. Anyway, opposite for us, need a room for our next kid (now don't get excited Uncle Ray, I am not prego, just planning ahead).

Its easy to add the wall back.
You will need a framer, drywaller, electrician. Im assuming its an interior wall.
Items to buy will be door, jam, base board, hardware, and you will need to possibly make some changes to the flooring if its tile, carpet, or hardwood.

Maybe I should post a pic because it is kind of hard to explain. We call this room the "middle room" because you can go through our main hallway into the room and out to the family room or from the kitchen into the room and out to the family room. I thought we would leave the access open from the kitchen to the family room. The door from the hallway would be the access to that bedroom. So, we would just need one solid wall. Sorry if that was a bit confusing.

One solid wall would be easy. You will still need to have outlets in that wall though. So you would still need the same people I said above unless you want to do it yourself.
Framer will build the studs from the floor to the ceiling.
Electrician will add the power boxes.
Drywall guys add the drywall, tape, mud, and texture the wall. if any corners they will add corner bead.
Prime and paint. done.

We've got the # for a drywaller. I'll hit Tom and Sue up for the guys that did the work on their house, they did a nice job.

I was talking to Sue at the party last weekend and didn't even think about asking her. I remember how nice her house turned out.

Sand Seeker on the board is a General Contractor, that's probably a 1 or max 2 day job for him and he lives in Glendora 626 824-9752 His name is Tom (at least you will get a fair Quote)

Wal-Mart

Try the Chinese....

Tom is a nice honest guy, give him a call for sure!

I have some spare particle board

PM ScreamingIan that is the work he does.

Bets to use a General Contractor that does a little of everything. If you seperate the framing, electrical and drywall it would cost a little more. I'm a sub contractor in San Diego (drywall)

or a really good handyman....

sorry you are so far away.

Yea a handyman could probably do the job. He might have a problem matching the texture on the existing walls if he can match the texture then everything would look like the wall was always there.

If you do hire a handyman type person, make sure that they know what they are doing, ask for references, pictures of their work, etc.

I have a little over 10 years in the interior remodeling industry, and I have seen ALOT of hacks.
