If you’ve been following me for a while, you know cost transparency is really important to me. Because of this, I decided to partner with Renovation. As we all know, having a realistic, accurate, and highly detailed sense of your renovation costs upfront is imperative. Block offers a number of tools and services to help you make sure you are being charged the right amount including: Competitive bids: Each Block project receives three tailored contractor matches. After each contractor visits your job site, they submit detailed proposals that you can compare side-by-side using AI tools to ensure you understand where your money will go exactly and can hire confidently. Expert scope review: Their team of renovation experts also provides detailed scope review for every project to ensure your scope is priced correctly before you get started. This helps limit scope creep and minimize change orders that can drive up costs. As a result, 9 out of 10 Block projects stay within 5% of the original budget proposal. Another great feature that they offer is Block’s Renovation Studio which is a free tool that helps homeowners plan for their renovation. One of the most popular features is a budget estimator based on their database of thousands of real projects that helps you give a real sense of what to expect for your project type and location and how to plan out your budget smartly. ✨Comment BLOCK for the link to start planning your renovation.✨ The total cost for this project was $29,475
