I think going over budget in remodeling projects usually comes down to a combination of factors rather than just one trade like carpentry. Hidden issues uncovered once demolition starts, changes in material prices, and scope changes all contribute to costs rising quickly. Without a detailed plan and cost breakdown from the beginning, it’s really easy for expenses to spiral.
That’s why I always recommend investing in solid estimating services for remodeling before any work gets underway. Good estimating helps you account for labor, materials, permits, and even potential surprises, so you have a realistic budget to work with. In my experience, teams that take the time to estimate thoroughly end up with far fewer unpleasant surprises and a much smoother project overall.
