    Hi!

    I have a two bedroom weatherboard postwar house which needs restumping. I would like some advice please, on
    1. Cost- how much does this cost? My house currently has about 16 steel posts surrounded by concrete. Cost breakdown (i.e. for restumping, fixing the doors/windows after, fixing the cracks on the walls, reconnecting the stairs, reconnecting the gas/plumbing/electrical/phone)
    2. Turnaround time- how long will my house be out of the rental market?
    3. Expectation- any other nasty surprises I might not be aware of?
    4. Recommendation- any good restumpers you had experience with?

    Any help welcome.
    Thanks in advance!

    We restumped ours 3 years ago – was $6k cash for a 3 bedroom post war cottage (1948). Was done in 3 days – we did remain in the house whilst it was done. We patched the cracks and repainted where needed. We did have to get a plaster in for a bad spot which was $200 cash. Hope that helps – I realise cash probably won't work as you will need receipts but add 10%
