What is my budget, and how much buffer should I include for unexpected costs?
Set Your Core Budget: Decide what you can comfortably spend on the project itself (materials, labor, permits).
Add a Buffer: Experts recommend 10–20% of your budget as a contingency fund.
Smaller cosmetic projects (painting, flooring) → 10% buffer.
Larger remodels (kitchens, bathrooms, additions) → 15–20% buffer.
