What to Expect During a Home Renovation (Real‑Life Timeline & Costs)

Planning a remodel but not sure what to expect once the hammers start swinging?

In this video we unpack the real‑world timeline and hidden costs of a full‑scale home renovation—from the first wall you demo to the last item on the punch list! Think of it as a survival guide that shows you how seasoned pros keep projects moving, protect your space, and steer clear of budget‑busting surprises.

Inside you’ll learn:
✅ How contractors sequence demo, framing, rough‑ins, finishes, and final inspections
✅ Whether you can realistically live on‑site (or should budget for temporary housing)
✅ Smart storage and dust‑control tricks that keep your family—and pets—safe
✅ What city inspectors look for and how failed inspections can shift your schedule
✅ Change‑order math: why they happen, how much to stash in contingency, and ways to avoid them
✅ Communication checkpoints that prevent “Where is everyone?” days on-site
