My Biggest Renovation Mistake And How You Can Avoid It
Everyone talks about going over budget, but no one warned me about the domino effect of delays. Our kitchen renovation was stalled for a month because our custom cabinets were late.
That one delay pushed everything back. Our countertop measurement had to wait for the cabinets. The tile guy we booked got another job. We were stuck with a torn-up kitchen for weeks, living out of a microwave. It was frustrating like arghhhh
My advice? Always add extra buffer time to every part of your schedule. Get lead times in writing from suppliers and add a 25% buffer. Talk to your tradespeople about their flexibility if things run late.
A little planning for delays saves a lot of stress
