If a contractor hands you a single lump-sum number, that's a red flag.
A real estimate should:
Come from at least 3 licensed, insured contractors who work in the Columbia and Howard County area.
Break down costs by category (framing, electrical, plumbing, flooring) so you see exactly where your money goes.
๐ก Remember: the cheapest bid is rarely the best value. Cutting corners now often means paying thousands to fix them later.
