Remodeling Projects Run Amuck

In a Consumer Reports blog post about cost overruns for home remodeling projects, around 17,000 readers said that they experienced budget overruns for the following projects. I have turned the Consumer Reports list around, so that the highest number of readers experiencing cost overruns is #1, and working downward to the least number.

1. Bathroom Remodel (60 Percent)
2. Basement Finishing and Kitchen Remodel - Tie (56 percent)
3. Room Addition (55 percent)
4. Deck Addition and Major Landscaping - Tie (45 percent)
5. Interior Painting (31 percent)
6. New Windows (33 percent)
