"Seems like Colton had his friends write his reviews. Probably should stick to decks. We had his company build us a garage. Electrician completely messed up our project. Colton was no where to be found during the project except when it came to collecting a check. No accountability. Anyone thinking of hiring this company, think again. Just awful. Over orders product, does not follow customers instructions. Quotes low to get the job. Quoted us $43,000 and we endeded up paying $52,000 because Colton doesnt know city codes. We have a cracked driveway from a poor cement pour and no slope on our garage floor, water just pools. That will be fun in winter. Plus the job took much longer than quoted. Part from waiting for xcel to move a power wire but beyond that it was still weeks longer than needed to be. Garage walls have over 100 nails that missed their mark. Also used much longer than needed nails. So everywhere there are nails poking out. Colton asked if we were ok that he installed our service door a foot over the garage floor because of flooding. I said yes assuming he would install a step if that was the case. Nope! We literally have to climb in and out of our service door. Over all just a poor job. He may build a good deck but should never do anything more than that."

The 30% rule serves as a guideline suggesting that renovation costs should not exceed 30% of your home's current market value. This principle helps prevent over-investing in improvements that the market may not fully reward upon resale.
For example, if your property is valued at $200,000, keeping your renovation budget under $60,000 provides better financial returns. However, this rule should be balanced with your personal goals and how long you plan to remain in the home.
A $50,000 budget can effectively transform several spaces if carefully allocated. This amount covers a moderate kitchen refresh combined with a bathroom update, or several less complex rooms like bedrooms and living areas.
Your geographic location, material choices, and the extent of structural changes significantly impact what this budget can accomplish. Focusing on cosmetic improvements rather than major layout changes helps maximize your investment across multiple spaces.
Labor constitutes the largest expense in multi-room remodels, accounting for 40% to 70% of total costs. Kitchen and bathroom spaces demand the highest investment due to their specialized fixtures, cabinetry requirements, and necessary plumbing work.
Premium materials such as natural stone countertops, hardwood flooring, and custom cabinetry also significantly increase project costs. Strategic budgeting that balances splurges and savings helps manage these high-cost elements effectively.
Most multi-room remodeling projects require three to six months from start to completion, though complex renovations may extend longer. The process follows a necessary sequence of demolition, structural work, mechanical rough-ins, finishing, and final detailing.
Timeline variables include material availability, contractor scheduling, inspection delays, and unexpected conditions discovered during construction. Establishing clear communication with your contractor and making prompt decisions helps maintain momentum throughout the project.
Begin with foundational and structural modifications that affect multiple spaces before progressing to individual rooms. Address "wet" areas like kitchens and bathrooms next, as these involve the most complex work with plumbing and specialized installations. Complete bedrooms and living spaces last to prevent damage to newly finished areas.
This logical progression minimizes redundant work and creates at least one functional living zone throughout the renovation process. Coordinating related work across different spaces also improves efficiency and potentially reduces costs.
