“You watch these home improvement shows and they can do wonders for a minimal amount to a whole house.”

We remodeled every square inch of this current 70s house we are in. And we have to remodel probably half of the next house, if we get it. And there’s no way it can be done for the prices on HGTV! I don’t know why they have them artificially so low

The other show with crazy budgets is Fixer Upper.

Hubby would roll his eyes, when their ‘budget’ was posted....and, say No way!

And, of course, they always come up with some unforeseen hiccup....that throws a wrench into that budget.

Have you guys checked out referrals on the Nextdoor site? I’m not a fan of social media, but we have found some good referrals there. A lot of times, people posting good reviews are neighbors you may know/trust, from the area and they’ll also post pics of the finished projects. You can also DM them for more questions. Most will gladly reply.

Just a thought to get more referrals.
