At Estate Renovations, we know that remodeling your home is an exciting journey—but it’s also one where costly mistakes can easily happen without the proper guidance. Whether you dream of a custom kitchen, a luxurious bathroom upgrade, or a whole-home refresh, a successful renovation starts with thoughtful planning and expert support.
Here are some of the most common remodeling mistakes we see—and how Estate Renovations helps clients avoid them:
Underestimating the Cost
One of the biggest surprises homeowners face is realizing the actual cost of their renovation halfway through the project. From unexpected structural issues to changes in material prices, costs can quickly climb without a clear plan.
Our approach: We provide detailed, realistic cost planning that factors in potential overages, ensuring you know exactly what to expect. Plus, we offer a “No Surprise Costs” Guarantee* – we provide you with a fixed quote, ensuring you’re not surprised by unforeseen costs. If your home renovation costs more than you were quoted, WE PAY FOR IT!*
Failing to Plan for the Future
Focusing only on current needs is easy, but a successful renovation considers how your space will function years from now. Lifestyle changes, growing families, and resale value should all be considered in your planning.
Our approach: We take the time to understand your long-term goals and design spaces that will serve you well now and in the future.
Skipping the Design Phase
Jumping straight into demolition or construction without a cohesive design vision often leads to costly changes mid-project or disjointed finishes.
Our approach: Our design-build process ensures you have a clear, customized design plan before construction begins. Every detail – from cabinetry to lighting – is meticulously planned and executed with intention and precision.
Choosing the Lowest Bid
A lower quote can be tempting, but it often means corners are being cut on materials, craftsmanship, or communication. Those savings can quickly disappear when fixes are needed later.
Our approach: At Estate Renovations, we focus on quality from day one. Our expert team brings decades of experience, attention to detail, and a commitment to getting it right the first time.
DIY Overload
Some homeowners try to manage parts of the remodel themselves to save money, but that often leads to delays, code violations, or expensive rework.
Our approach: We handle everything from permitting to project management, so you can relax knowing your renovation is in trusted, experienced hands.
