Hey guys! So, I’ve finally taken the plunge after years of saving and decided to dive into a full house renovation for my old 1970s San Diego home. I’ve got a pretty good budget saved up (thanks to those boring index funds my dad always talked about – turns out they were worth it after all!). But let me tell you, San Diego prices are through the roof! Seriously, it’s crazy expensive here.
I really don’t want to mess this up because it’s a huge investment for me. My plan is to do a complete overhaul, from top to bottom, with all the modern upgrades while still keeping that classic San Diego house feel. Has anyone here tackled a major renovation in San Diego? I could really use some advice on finding reliable contractors, avoiding permit headaches, and getting a realistic idea of how long this whole thing is gonna take.
Any tips or recommendations you have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, and I hope you all have an awesome week!
