AI is changing every industry, including remodeling. While there are some exciting possibilities, there's also a downside that's becoming impossible to ignore.
Lately we've been seeing AI-generated advertisements circulating throughout Lane County promising complete kitchen remodels for as little as $9,000.00 - $11,000.00. While those numbers may grab attention, they don't reflect the reality of what a true, professionally managed kitchen remodel costs.
As a local design-build company, we believe homeowners deserve honest information so they can make informed decisions. A quality remodel includes much more than cabinets and countertops. It involves thoughtful design, permits, skilled tradespeople, project management, quality materials, warranty coverage, and craftsmanship built to last.
The real cost of misleading advertising isn't just disappointment. Homeowners can end up frustrated or believing that every remodeling company is overpriced when they receive real estimates. In the worst cases, families are left with torn-apart kitchens, unfinished projects, unexpected debt, and the difficult task of finding someone else to fix or complete the work.
Advancements in technology should never replace honesty.
If an ad sounds too good to be true, it's worth asking a few questions:
• What exactly is included?
• Are labor, permits, plumbing, electrical, and finishes part of that price?
• Is it a cosmetic refresh or a complete remodel?
• Will there be change orders later to make up the difference?
