Fund the renovation before the dust starts.
Renovations are famous for overruns. GoalFlo turns your project into one daily number with a built-in buffer, so the budget survives contact with reality.
Every renovation story includes the part where it cost more than planned. Quotes creep, surprises appear behind walls, and the budget you set at the start rarely survives.
Price the work you want, then add a meaningful contingency, because overruns are the norm rather than the exception. Many people add a buffer on top of every quote. GoalFlo bakes that buffer into your daily number so it is real, not hopeful.
