What to do if your renovation starts to go sideways
EP7: In this episode of Custom Built, I dive into the realities of handling unexpected challenges during a renovation. From mismatched grout colors to buckling floors, I share stories from my own projects to illustrate the importance of staying calm, prioritizing craftsmanship, and taking swift, decisive action when things don’t go as planned. You’ll hear why communication and collaboration with your trades are key, and how to know when it’s time to part ways and bring in a new team.
I also explain the value of draw schedules and regular walkthroughs to keep your project on track, protect your budget, and maintain high-quality results. Mistakes happen—it’s how you respond that makes the difference. Whether you’re managing your own renovation or overseeing one as a contractor, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you navigate any hurdles with confidence.
