Tina explains the difference between quick cosmetic changes and true structural work and offers tips for homeowners who want to avoid costly surprises. We also laugh about the wild requests contractors get and talk about the progress being made by women in construction. Stick around for the headbanger housing segment and a few off the cuff moments you will not want to miss.If you are thinking about a renovation or curious what will actually move the needle on value this episode is for you.
