Why Your DIY Renovations Go Over Budget (and How to Avoid It)⎥Ep. 2288
Some renovations look good on Pinterest – but won’t add a cent to your property’s value.
In this episode, Ed and Andrew sit down with Wayne Gordon from Refresh Renovations to uncover the upgrades that actually boost your property’s return on investment.
You’ll learn:

- When to manage a reno yourself vs. hiring a full-service renovation team
- The biggest traps that cause renovation budgets to spiral
If you’re planning a project in 2025, this episode shows how to spend smart – not more – and turn every dollar into a genuine gain.
