Most horror stories involve a mix of these.\n\nKnowing the common failure points lets you plan buffers and pick a contractor who manages risk well.\n\nKey factors:\n- Discovering old wiring, plumbing leaks, or structural issues after demo\n- Work done without proper permits or failing inspections\n- Cabinets, windows, or appliances arriving late or incorrect\n- Vague contracts that cause disputes over scope or quality\n\nBuild contingency into your budget and schedule, insist on a clear written scope, and ask how your contractor handles surprises. Approve materials early and double‑check measurements for anything custom.\n\nGood planning can’t eliminate all problems, but it can keep them manageable instead of catastrophic."
