The following is a excerpt from a Houzz Article by Erin Carlyle. Erin writes about how your decisions in the design process with materials affect the overall budget of your remodeling project and how making the wrong decisions can boost the cost of your project far beyond what you’re looking to spend. It’s these type of things that we at Borchert take into consideration and educate you on in our design process. We highly recommend reading Erin’s full article. A link to it can be found at the bottom of this post.
