“Structural surprises are the #1 budget risk in 1950–1975 Valley homes. When we open walls, we frequently find: unapproved additions, undersized joists, no seismic straps, galvanized plumbing that's corroded to failure. We build a 15% contingency into every full renovation budget for this reason — not as a cushion, as a necessity.”
Negotiate a specific schedule of inspections with your contractor before signing the contract. Know the LADBS inspection milestone sequence for your project type. Delays in inspection scheduling cascade into project delays. Build in a 2-week buffer at each major inspection milestone.
