Simply Home

No one told me this was part of the job description.
 
j/k. Would do anything for Simply Home and our clients! ❤️

What you need to know about hidden costs 👇🏻

Y’all, we’ve seen A LOT behind the walls of a house. Termites, rotten wood, things we wouldn’t mention in front of our family and friends... just kidding.

But after all these years of opening up walls, we’ve learned to plan for it. We dig into everything we possibly can before demo ever starts, so nothing nasty comes back to haunt you later. Knowing what we’re walking into is kind of our whole thing.

And every now and then, something’s just out of anyone’s hands. That’s when a good contractor should be telling you exactly what to set aside, and for us, that’s a 5% buffer, so you can feel confident headed into your reno.

Have questions? Drop ‘em below, we’re ready for y’all!

Okay, but here's what this whole pricing argument is missing.

Y'all can hire a contractor who gives you one set price up front. (hi 👋🏻) OR y'all can hire a contractor who bills for materials and time as they go. Both setups can go really well, and both can go really, really badly.

The thing that decides whether you get blindsided by surprise costs is…the person actually RUNNING the project.

Because, if your contractor did the homework before demo day, told you the truth about what's behind your walls, and built a contract that's clear about what's in it and what's not, you're going to be A-Okay!

But if they didn't do any of that, no pricing model is going to save you. Trust me on this one.

So before y'all start worrying about which one is "better," look really hard at the person you're hiring. After 1700+ reno's, I promise y'all that decision is the single most important one you'll make during your reno.

If y'all ever have questions, send us a DM, but first make sure you send this to a friend who's about to start their reno!
