REMODEL SMARTER, NOT HARDER

The Homeowner's Guide to Residential Remodeling – Your roadmap to confident, stress-free renovation

If you're planning a remodel and feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone.

Home renovations are exciting until they aren't. Between managing budgets, hiring professionals, pulling permits, and understanding what "change orders" actually mean… it’s a lot.

We created this course to give homeowners like you clarity and control. Whether it’s your first renovation or your third, we’ll help you avoid common pitfalls, ask the right questions, and actually enjoy the process

Let me guess...

You’re ready to start your remodel — but every time you try to move forward, something stops you.
You’ve saved inspiration pics, maybe even talked to a contractor… but you're still unsure what comes next.
There are too many moving parts, too much conflicting advice, and no clear roadmap.

AND HERE'S WHY YOU'VE BEEN STUCK:

Remodeling isn’t just about picking pretty tiles or hiring a builder.
It's about understanding your project type, who’s involved, what it should cost, and what steps come when.
Most homeowners are handed ideas — but not a process. That’s where we come in.

Hear what people are saying!

“This course saved us thousands — and our sanity.”

We thought remodeling was just picking finishes and calling a contractor.
Thanks to Bethany and Jihan, we walked in with a plan, a team, and realistic expectations
