What I do

Inside the house and out

Most of my work is flooring, demo and interior remodeling, but I take on exterior projects too. If it's on this list, it's work I do myself.

Interior

  • Flooring installation

    Laminate and luxury vinyl plank, floated or glued down, plus trim and transitions.

  • Carpet & pad tear-out

    Carpet, pad, tack strip and staples pulled, subfloor prepped flat, old material hauled away.

  • Ceiling removal & drywall repair

    Popcorn and damaged ceilings taken down, patching, taping and finishing back to smooth.

  • General interior remodeling

    Subfloor repair, baseboard and trim, doors, paint and the odd list of things that never got finished.

  • Demolition & tear-out

    Cabinets, tile, walls or a whole room down to the studs — dust contained, debris hauled, floor swept.

Exterior

  • Siding, soffit, fascia & trim

    Repairs and replacement, including the damaged sections nobody else wants to patch in.

  • Decks, fences & railings

    Board and post repairs, railings brought back to solid, then washed, stained and sealed.

  • Gutters, roof repair & exterior paint

    Gutter cleaning and replacement, targeted roof repairs, prep and paint that holds up to Minnesota.

  • Site prep & hardscape cleanup

    Old flatwork out, base prepped and graded for the new pour, plus edging and yard cleanup.

  • Teardowns & removals

    Old decks, sheds, fences and cracked concrete taken out and hauled off so the yard starts clean.

Recent job

Carpet out, laminate in

A main-floor living room and hallway: old carpet and pad torn out, subfloor cleaned and prepped, new laminate plank laid wall to wall. Drag the handle to see it.

Rates

What it costs

Real starting numbers, so you know roughly where you stand before you call. These are labor rates for straightforward jobs — the exact price comes from a free walkthrough, and once it's written down it holds.

Interior

  • Laminate & luxury vinyl plank installation

    from$3.00/sq ft

    Floating plank in open rooms, including trim and transitions.

  • Carpet and pad removal

    from$1.25/sq ft

    Carpet, pad, tack strip and staples out, hauled away. Discounted when I'm installing the new floor.

  • Tile floor tear-out

    from$4.00/sq ft

    Tile and thinset broken out, subfloor scraped flat. Mortar beds and stone cost more.

  • Selective interior demo

    from$4.00/sq ft

    Cabinets, vanities, fixtures, trim, non-structural walls — out, loaded and hauled off.

  • Room gut to the studs

    from$8.00/sq ft

    Everything down to framing and subfloor: kitchens, baths, basements. Dust control and floor protection included.

  • Popcorn ceiling removal

    from$2.50/sq ft

    Scraped, skim coated and sanded back to smooth, ready for paint.

  • Drywall repair

    from$200/repair

    Cut in, tape, mud and texture matched to the wall around it.

  • Handyman repairs & small remodeling

    from$75/hour

    Baseboard, doors, subfloor repair and the list that never got finished.

Exterior

  • Siding, soffit, fascia & trim repair

    from$85/hour

    Damaged sections cut out and patched in so it reads as one wall.

  • Deck & fence repair

    from$85/hour

    Bad boards, posts and railings swapped out and brought back to solid.

  • Deck & fence staining and sealing

    from$3.50/sq ft

    Washed, dried and coated so it stands up to a Minnesota winter.

  • Exterior structure teardown

    from$5.00/sq ft

    Decks, sheds and fences cut down and hauled away, footings pulled and holes backfilled.

  • Concrete & patio removal

    from$8.00/sq ft

    Slabs, steps and walkways broken up and carted off. Reinforced or thick pours cost more.

  • Gutter replacement

    from$14/linear ft

    Aluminum gutter and downspouts installed, old system taken down and hauled off.

  • Exterior painting

    from$3.00/sq ft

    Scrape, prime and two coats on prepped siding and trim.

Reading these numbers. Every rate above is labor and a starting point, priced for a normal job in good shape. The real number depends on size, access, condition, prep, height, safety setup and disposal. Materials, permits, delivery, equipment rental and dumpsters are extra unless the written estimate says otherwise. Stairs, tight layouts, rotten subfloor, water damage and second-story work cost more — I'll show you why on the estimate instead of hiding it in a lump sum. Minimum service charge is $175.

On older houses, if the ceiling texture or old tile could contain asbestos, it gets tested before I put a tool to it — no exceptions. For new decks, new concrete pours and hardwood floors, I'll handle the demo and site prep and bring in a specialist for the install.

How I quote

No surprise numbers

I don't guess a price over the phone and then change it once I'm standing in your house. Here's exactly how it works.

  1. 01

    You call or text

    Tell me the rooms, roughly how big, and what you want done. Photos help a lot.

  2. 02

    I come look — free

    I measure, check the subfloor or the exterior condition, and find the surprises before they cost you.

  3. 03

    You get a written number

    Labor and materials broken out separately, so you can see what you're paying for and where you can save.

  4. 04

    The price holds

    It only changes if you add work or we open something up and find real damage — and I tell you before I touch it.

How the number is built

  • Floors, ceilings and demo are priced by the square foot, measured room by room.
  • Repair work goes hourly or by the patch, whichever is fairer to you.
  • Every rate is a starting point — I confirm it after seeing the condition.
  • Material options come in good, better and best so you pick the budget.

Included, not extra

  • Tear-out quoted up front, never sprung on you later
  • Debris loaded and hauled off in my trailer
  • Floor protection and daily cleanup
  • Trim, transitions and a walkthrough before I take payment

Who you're hiring

Bedirhan Misafir

Owner & Contractor, MISCO Renovations

I run MISCO Renovations out of the Twin Cities. When you hire me, I'm the one who shows up, measures the job, and does the work — not a salesman handing your house off to whoever is available that week.

Most of what I do is flooring: pulling out tired carpet and laying plank that makes the room feel like a different house. I also handle ceilings and drywall, interior remodel work, and exterior projects from siding and decks to concrete and gutters.

I'd rather tell you a job isn't worth doing than sell you something you don't need. If there's a cheaper way to get you the result you want, I'll say so in the estimate.
