Frequently Asked Questions

Why do home projects always take longer than expected?

Most people underestimate by 50-100%. Common reasons: unexpected problems (rot, uneven surfaces, wrong measurements), multiple trips to the hardware store, drying and curing times, learning curve on new skills, and the clean-up time that nobody includes in their estimate. Budget twice the time you think you need, especially for a first attempt.
