🏗️ Pro Tip: Add a 15–20% contingency buffer to every renovation budget — especially for projects involving walls, plumbing, or flooring. Industry data shows roughly two-thirds of home renovation projects uncover hidden issues once work begins. Build in the buffer before you get a contractor quote, not after.
