In Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a homeowner planned a full renovation right after buying the house. The excitement was high and the ideas were endless.
Instead of starting immediately, they lived in the home for three months. They learned where light fell, which rooms stayed cold, and what storage was actually missing.
That short wait changed everything. The renovation became smaller, smarter, and far less expensive than the original plan.
For homeowners, patience is often the most underrated renovation strategy
