But know that every time you modify your thoughts, there’s a change order, and even minor changes could be expensive. Strive to stick to the original agreement, if potential. Limit yourself. Early within the challenge, it might appear to be a handful of splurges are cheap in your price range for fixtures and finishes.

Since there were very few materials costs for our project, that bill was mostly for labor. Our objective with the rework was to break down all of the partitions and create a considerably open ground plan downstairs, while adding in metal support beams so our house didn’t fall down.
