hi all, we're thinking about getting a contractor to re-panel our
basement...about 1150 sq.ft. can anyone suggest a good 'per sq.ft.'
rate including all trim. one estimate came in at 4.25/sq.ft. but i
thought that was a bit high. having never had anything like this done
before, we just don't know. any info appreciated

In other words its very hard to tell you from here. best advice is to get 3
estimates, make sure you compare apples to apples. The middle one is
probably the right price. The cheapest estimate probably left something out
or under estimated the job, The high one may be gouging you. If the three
estimates have 2 that are close and one that is wildly different, get a 4th
and ask the guy who is way off why he is off.

Where are you located?

I've seen a TV ad by Owens Croning about its unique basement panel
system. Does anyone have any experience with it?

Thanks.

I've only heard from people who priced it out. Its expensve.

Cheaper to just have drywall installed.
