The secret to a stress-free renovation isn’t luck—it’s preparation. At House of Huck, we believe great projects start long before construction begins, with clear plans, early decisions, and the right coordination.

Every designer reaches a point where effort alone stops working. Stop Stretching Thin breaks down the three business stages of growth—and how to focus on what matters most in each one.

Most renovation stress doesn’t come from dust or delays—it comes from unclear budgets. Before hiring a general contractor, you need a clear, itemized plan that outlines scope, cost, and contingency.
