We’re planning a mid-range kitchen and bath update in a 1970s ranch and want a realistic schedule—any tips on sequencing trades to avoid delays with inspections or materials? What small upgrades gave you the best ROI (like under-cabinet lighting or a pocket door), and how did you handle dust control during demo?

Particular attention in the work of cleaning companies is paid to cleaning after repair. Construction dust, paint residues and small debris create adverse living or working conditions. I recently read about house cleaning in Edmonds wa. Professionals use powerful equipment and special tools to quickly and efficiently clean the room, including hard-to-reach corners and surfaces, returning the room to cleanliness and freshness after the completion of construction work.
I’ve been reading through everyone’s suggestions, but one thing I’m still not clear about is how people usually handle budgeting when starting a renovation in Knoxville. Do most contractors give a detailed breakdown upfront, or is it something you only figure out once the work begins? Also, kind of off-topic, but I came across Shopsneakerdeals while browsing for home stuff online, and it made me wonder if anyone here has ever found good deals on renovation tools or smaller accessories through sites like that?
I try to sequence projects to avoid downtime — order long-lead items like cabinets, shower trim, and tile first, then move from demo → rough plumbing/electrical → drywall → paint → cabinets/tile → finish work. For small ROI upgrades, dimmable 3000K CRI90 under-cab LED tape, soft-close hinges, and a pocket door in tight spaces really help. To manage dust, I use ZipWall poly, a box fan for negative pressure, and swap in MERV‑13 filters weekly; in Knoxville, some homeowners reference https://www.doxa-homes.com/ for lining up inspectors.
