Renovating your home should be a dream, not a financial nightmare. 🏠💸
Nearly 50% of homeowners go over budget, often falling victim to the "Iceberg Effect"—those hidden issues like old wiring or water damage that only appear once the walls come down.
At Slate Design & Remodel, we believe a budget is an estimate, not a fixed number, unless you have a solid plan to protect it. Here is how to keep your project on track:
🛡️ The 3-Step Protection Plan:
Spot the Traps: Get at least three line-item bids to avoid low-ball estimates that spike later.
The 20% Rule: Always set aside a hard 20% contingency fund for the "invisible" problems.
No Mid-Project Changes: If it wasn't in the original Scope of Work, it's a "Phase 2" project. Indecision is expensive!
Don't let "while we're at it..." cost you thousands. Finalize your design, order your materials, and lock in your scope before the first hammer swings. 🔨✨
