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.
Good idea Jane, thank you.
Hubby does most of the remodeling himself, with Contracting out parts of jobs like drywall. Things he hates doing.
BUT we noticed the HGTV shows estimates come in even lower than what we pay, with just paying for materials! Now they might get some kind of contractor discount but still!
