Why Home Improvement Estimates Are NEVER 100% Accurate
Why Home Improvement Estimates Are NEVER 100% Accurate
No matter what, even the best estimate misses the mark.
You think you’re getting one price. You plan for it. Then… boom.
The job takes longer, goes sideways, or reveals something hiding inside the walls.
π Real Talk: Surprises Lurk Everywhere in Home Projects
Sometimes it’s just a bit of rot behind the drywall. Other times?
It’s an entire colony of hornets, a family of raccoons, or a soggy subfloor ready to give way.
Home repairs—especially in older houses—don’t follow the script.
Common Hidden Costs We’ve Seen:
- πͺ΅ Rotting floor joists beneath a “simple” bathroom update
- π Hornets nesting between exterior wall layers
- π§± Cracked foundations under sagging decks
- ⚡ Old electrical that wasn’t up to code
- π§ Mold growing behind vinyl siding
- π§° DIY repairs gone wrong (costing triple to fix)
These issues aren’t visible when someone stops by for a quick quote.
That’s why traditional lump-sum estimating is broken.
