Most Common Questions When Renovating

by | Dec 3, 2025

Thinking about renovating your home? You’re probably asking yourself some version of the same questions we hear all the time:

How much is this going to cost? How long is it going to take? Can I stay in my house? Is this even worth it?

These are all fair and important questions. At BEC Innovations, we believe you deserve real answers before you commit to anything. That’s why we built our free Price Guide Estimator — and why we’ve written blog posts that walk you through actual budgets, timelines, and what it’s really like to live through a renovation.

Let’s break it all down.

  1. How much is this going to cost?

Yep, this is the big one. Most contractors dodge this question or give vague ranges. We don’t.

We’ve written about real numbers here:

Setting a Realistic Budget for Your Home Remodel

Want a faster way to get a sense of pricing? Our Price Guide Estimator lets you explore kitchen, bath, addition, or handyman projects in just a few clicks with an eye on what affects those estimations.

  1. How long is this going to take?

Also a common question — and like cost, the answer is “it depends,” but we do our best to give real estimates based on your scope of work.

You’ll find helpful info here:
Setting a Realistic Pre-Construction and Design Timeline

And again — the Price Guide Estimator gives you a rough idea of how long different types of projects take.

  1. Can I stay in my house while you renovate?

The answer is: maybe. It really depends on what we’re doing.
If your kitchen or bathroom is the only one in the house — or if we’re tearing into major systems — you’re probably going to want to relocate for a bit.

We talk through the pros and cons in this post:

(Spoiler: It’s doable in some cases, but you won’t be cooking a five-course meal during demo week.)

  1. Is this even worth it?

Only you can decide that — but we can help by showing you roughly what your money gets you. If you’re thinking about selling someday, enjoying your space now, or investing in your forever home, here’s what to expect:
