Remodel Readiness Question
#19

Have you budgeted for the extra costs that might come with your living plan during construction — like temporary housing, storage, or eating out more often?

Why It Matters

Living costs during construction can add thousands to your remodel. Planning for them protects your budget and peace of mind.

The Downfall

Many homeowners forget these “hidden” expenses — then wonder where their money went.

Do It Right

Estimate temporary housing, storage, or takeout costs and add them to your budget. A complete plan includes both construction and lifestyle costs.​
