Even well-planned renovations bring costs that slip through the cracks. Forgetting these extras can wreck your budget.
Common hidden costs:
Permits & Inspections: Required for structural changes.
Waste Removal: Dumpster rentals or hauling fees.
Temporary Living: Hotels or rentals during major work.
Utility Upgrades: Old wiring or pipes needing replacements.
Finishing Touches: Hardware, fixtures, and trim add up fast.
Conclusion: Renovation costs aren’t just in lumber and tile, the hidden details are what separate a good budget from a broken one.
