2. Setting a Budget

• Determine Your Budget: Establish a realistic budget that includes all aspects of the remodel—materials, labor, permits, and some unexpected costs.
• Prioritize Spending: Allocate funds based on the importance of each element. For instance, if high-quality countertops are a priority, adjust your budget accordingly.
