Don't allow the contractor to add on $10,000 or more as he goes along. This can eat up your money in a hurry and you might not be able to borrow more to finish the project. Find a contractor who's willing to explain all the possibilities of higher costs and why it may cost more in certain scenarios. Also, be sure he is licensed, insured and bonded in case anything goes wrong. While obtaining a remodeling estimate…be sure to get an exact price if possible.
