There’s a version of this house that exists for about two weeks, and then it’s gone for the next twenty years.
Once the drywall goes back up, nobody checks any of it again, including you.
That’s the actual risk in a pre-reno demo. Not the tear-out itself, but what gets missed or over-removed while it’s happening, because both mistakes become someone else’s problem later. Yours, usually, once the walls are closed and the schedule’s already moved on.
Before anything came down here, we walked the house against Pine Glen’s plan for this renovation. Structural stayed. Anything in the final layout stayed. Only what was actually in the way came out, and it came out clean, without dragging extra work into a schedule that didn’t have room for it.
Take out too little and your reno crew runs into problems mid-job. Take out too much and you’re back-billing repairs nobody budgeted for. Either way, it’s not your reno anymore. It’s your rework.
