        "text": "Unexpected issues, such as outdated wiring, plumbing problems, or structural damage, can significantly impact remodeling costs by requiring additional labor and materials. These issues are often hidden until demolition begins. The best preparation is to include a contingency fund of 10-20% in your budget for such unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, a thorough initial inspection by your contractor can help identify potential hidden problems early. Hometelligent Inc. aims for proactive communication about any unexpected discoveries to manage expectations and budget adjustments effectively.",
