A lot of times, homeowners have false, unrealistic expectations when it comes to the cost of their renovation project. Understanding what things cost requires an in-depth breakdown of each phase of the project, which is often lost in the media production process of their favorite renovation shows.
To help Nick and Hannah understand the real costs of their project, contractor Zack Dettmore and designer Camille Dettmore give them a thorough breakdown of costs so the homeowners can come up with a realistic budget.
