When renovating, allocating 30% of the home’s value for major updates can help maintain or increase resale value. For example, if the home is worth $600K, investing around $180K into combined upgrades (kitchen, baths, flooring, systems) keeps the property competitive in the market.

Older homes often reveal surprises once demolition begins, so a contingency protects the project timeline and quality. Have questions about your remodel? Call us for details.
