        "text": "Start home renovations with foundational and mechanical systems before moving to high-end cosmetic upgrades. If your home has roof leaks, storm damage, or outdated plumbing and wiring, fix those issues first to avoid ruining new drywall, flooring, or cabinetry later. Once structural framing, electrical rough-ins, and plumbing lines are sound, address key functional spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. Finish carpentry, custom moldings, tile backsplashes, and interior painting should always be completed last to protect new finishes from damage during heavy construction work.",
