Over the past 20+ years, our family-owned business has helped hundreds of homeowners renovate their kitchens and bathrooms. We’ve seen the excitement of starting a dream remodel—but we’ve also seen the costly mistakes that come from poor planning.
One story stands out.
A homeowner—let’s call her Lisa—hired us to refinish her kitchen. She had big dreams and a set budget, but like many homeowners, she didn’t realize how quickly things could go wrong.
❌ The cabinets she ordered were delayed by 6 weeks.
❌ Her contractor charged extra fees for last-minute changes.
❌ She picked the wrong type of paint—forcing a costly redo.
The worst part? These mistakes added over $5,000 to her total renovation cost—money that could have gone toward better materials, upgraded fixtures, or even a new kitchen island.
Unfortunately, this happens all the time. Homeowners dive into renovations without a solid plan—and it costs them time, money, and unnecessary stress.
That’s why we created The Ultimate Kitchen & Bathroom Renovation Planner—to help homeowners like Lisa stay organized, stick to their budget, and avoid costly surprises.
