Y’all, that suspiciously low renovation quote usually comes with a catch.

And most of the time, you don’t find out what it is until the walls are already open and your house is covered in drywall dust.

Suddenly, the plumbing’s “a little more involved.”
Now there’s framing repair nobody mentioned before.
Then permits weren’t included.

And somehow the number you thought you signed off on starts climbing real fast.

That’s a big reason we do lump sum pricing around here. One number upfront, and unless YOU decide to change something, that number stays put.

We even build a little cushion into the budget because older homes tend to have a few surprises hiding back there like they’ve been waiting for their moment. 😉

And Texas homeowners get a pretty nice bonus too. No sales tax on lump sum residential remodeling, which still feels a little fake every time we say it out loud.

All that to say... make sure you know exactly what’s included before signing anything.

Save this for when those renovation quotes start rolling in.

Let me guess… nobody told you a project manager was even an option.

Well, if y'all don't want to be Googling things like 'is it normal for a reno to go over budget?' and 'why is my contractor not texting back?'

Then we highly recommend you hire one!
