"Were told the project would take approximately 3 weeks and they took over 8 weeks. The contract said workers would be here 8 am to 5 pm but they would show up around 9:30 and leave by 4. There were 5 days when no one showed up to work. When there were problems they made mistakes on the corrections. The walls were not prepped correctly so the paint turned out awful. Also the person in charge of the work crew did not return calls in a timely manner and had an attitude when we mentioned things to him. One of the workers was always saying he had to run out to get something and took 2 to 3 hours before returning. Another one went outside to smoke every little bit. He tried to smoke by the door but my husband put a stop to that since I have asthma and the smoke bothers my breathing. The owner did try to make amends but the same workers came back for the corrections and did a bad job still. We just paid them to get them out of our lives. So unless you have a long time to get a project done and do not care how rough it turns out I would not recommend this company."

Start by asking a local contractor, architect, or interior designer for a detailed line‑item estimate. These pros can price out labor, materials, permits, and any specialty work, then flag areas where you can save. Once you have that breakdown, add 20% to the total to cover potential surprises, such as hidden water damage or code upgrades. This approach gives you a realistic budget before the first hammer swings.
In most cases, remodeling wins on price. Because you’re reusing the existing structure, you avoid foundation work, framing an entire shell, and many permit fees. Unless the home has severe structural problems, updating what you already own is the more budget‑friendly route than building an entirely new house from scratch.
Home renovation timelines hinge on scope. Cosmetic updates—such as new paint, fixtures, or flooring—can be completed in a few days or weeks. A multi-room gut renovation that involves moving walls or utilities can stretch to six months, and adding square footage can push the schedule past a year. Good planning and a clear contractor schedule help keep projects on track, so be sure to build extra time into the calendar for permit reviews and unforeseen repairs.
Before your home renovation work begins, contact your insurance agent to confirm that your current policy covers the project. Standard homeowners insurance usually protects against fire or storm damage during construction, but bigger upgrades—adding square footage, high‑end finishes, or new systems—can raise your home’s value beyond existing limits. If coverage falls short, ask about a renovation rider or a policy increase so you’re fully protected from day one to final walkthrough.
