Need Some Advice on Getting a Construction Cost Estimate Before Renovating - victoria_joan - 10-11-2025
Hey folks, I’m planning to renovate my living room and maybe open up the kitchen space a bit, but I’m kinda unsure about one thing getting a proper construction cost estimate before starting.
Some friends told me it’s fine to just talk to a few contractors and get rough quotes, but others say it’s better to get a detailed estimate from someone who really knows how to break down costs. I don’t wanna end up halfway through the project and realize the budget’s gone off track.
What do you guys usually do before starting a remodel do you hire someone for estimating or just figure it out yourself? Would love to hear what’s worked best for you.
