Stair project cost

Question from Mindy

Jake - my husband and I are looking to purchase a 1940's cape-style home in NJ. Currently the stairs to the second floor are directly off of the kitchen and only about 3 feet from the back door. The stairs going down to the basement are on the other side of this - off of the dining room. There is about 5 feet of useless space in front of the stairs to the basement. What we'd like to do is move back and switch the direction of these stairwells. We'd like to make the stairs to the basement accessible from the kitchen and create a better staircase to the upstairs from the dining room. In your estimate, what would be the cost to move this entire set-up back about 5 feet and reverse the direction of the stairs?

Jake's Answer: 

Mindy,

In our area, it would run around $15,000 to complete a project as you described.  This would be a turn key price – everything included.
