Here are some of the many reasons why remodeling projects can drive homeowners insane:
The
Cost
Remodeling is not cheap. In fact, it’s
estimated that remodeling a bathroom can cost as much as
$22,500. Spending thousands of dollars on a project can put a lot of stress on
a family and force them to cut back in other areas. Plus, no matter how much
planning went into the remodel, unexpected expenses are bound to arise. Having
to fork over even more money in the midst of a remodel can put additional
stress on a family.
Construction
Zone in Your Home
Homeowners will also have to welcome
contractors and other workers into their home during the remodel.
Some areas of the home may be sealed off while they are being remodeled, which could disrupt your daily routine. The noise coming from the power tools combined with the inconvenience of living in a construction zone is enough to push even the most calm, cool, and collected homeowner over the edge.

At the beginning of the project, the
contractor should provide a rough timeline of when the remodel will be
complete. But, this timeline is not set in stone. Homeowners often experience
stress when contractors are forced to extend the timeline due to unexpected
delays with the project. Even if you work with a reliable contractor, there are
some things that are simply beyond his control. Delayed timelines can be
especially stressful for homeowners who need to have the remodel complete
before family members come to visit or the home is put up for sale.
Fortunately, there are ways to manage your
stress during a remodel. Learn how to stay sane through all the remodeling
