No one likes to cut a budget, especially when it's his or her own.
But when it comes to planning a remodeling project, homeowners must
establish a realistic budget . . . and actively manage it.
Preparing for a remodeling project is a lot like preparing to buy a
car. You may know the room and style you want, but the options you
choose may drive the price higher than you can reasonably afford. But
there are ways to stretch the remodeling budget and end up with stylish
results within budget.
