Interesting topic. Our kitchen half bath renovation begins next month. Project costs have increased over 40% since the first sit down with the contractor over 20 months ago. Yes, almost two years since we first started speaking with local contractors. Very difficult to pay almost $300 a sq foot. However, do we wait until prices drop? Wait another two years after that to schedule? Much of that increase is labor. Keeping good help and hiring new in the lakes region has become a job in itself. Product lead times are what surprised me the most. Kitchen cabinets 20 weeks. Windows and doors 12 to 14 weeks. Flooring 6 to 8 weeks. Appliances 12 to 22 weeks. Most were ordered back in October and hoping for the best.
I am sure the first batch of pancakes with the grandkids will be well worth it all.
