Home renovation shows make it look easy — cue dramatic music, time-lapse footage, and a perfect reveal. Real life? A little dustier. A lot more rewarding.

At Solenne Homes, we’ve seen it all — and we’re here to share what no one else tells you about the renovation process.

No matter how detailed your plan, hidden issues can pop up — wiring behind walls, moisture damage, structural quirks. The trick is to plan for the unexpected with a contingency budget (about 10–15% of your total project). That way, small surprises don’t derail big dreams.

The early days are exciting. Then comes the dust, noise, and endless takeout dinners. But don’t panic — it’s temporary. The “messy middle” is when the real magic starts to happen.

Renovations are partnerships. That’s why Solenne keeps clients updated every step of the way — from progress photos to timeline check-ins. When communication is clear, stress stays low.

The day your project wraps and you walk into your transformed space? That’s what makes it all worth it.

Renovating should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
