The Complete Home Renovation Budget Planner

by Kincaid and Le Companies LLC

The average home renovation goes 20-50% over budget. Not because materials got more expensive or contractors are dishonest (though both happen), but because the homeowner did not plan thoroughly enough before starting. They forgot to account for permits, underestimated demolition costs, did not include a contingency fund, or made design changes mid-project that cascaded through the entire budget.
