Renovation Info launched in 2017 when Megan Harper, a former project manager turned freelance writer, realized that homeowners across the United States were repeatedly hit with surprise expenses during kitchen, bathroom, and whole‑house remodels. Living in Austin, Texas, Megan saw her friends struggle to compare bids because most sites lumped material and labor together, offering only vague “average” numbers. Determined to fill that gap, she built a solo‑run portal that delivers granular, region‑specific cost data for every major renovation type, from mid‑range hardwood flooring to high‑end kitchen islands.
Mission: To empower homeowners aged 35‑60 with crystal‑clear, cost‑transparent journalism that separates material prices from labor rates, letting readers create realistic budgets before they lift a hammer. Vision: A future where every renovation decision is backed by a spreadsheet‑level breakdown—so families can prioritize style, sustainability, and savings without the guesswork. Each article cites vendor quotes, contractor interviews, and publicly available building‑permit records, ensuring the numbers on our pages reflect what you’ll actually pay in your zip code.
