All-inclusive pricing sounds great—until you're hit with $5,000 in 'extras' midway through your project.
I've seen it happen too many times. A homeowner signs what they think is a complete contract, only to find out that demolition, permits, electrical, or finishing touches are extra.
What 'All-Inclusive' Should Include
- Demolition and debris removal
- All permits and inspections
- Site preparation and grading
- Materials AND labor
- Electrical for lighting, outlets, etc.
- Final cleanup and walkthrough
Common Hidden Extras to Watch For
- Permit fees (can be $500-$3,000+)
- Electrical hookups for kitchens or lighting
- Gas line connections for BBQ or fire pits
- Sprinkler system adjustments
- Fence modifications
- Unforeseen soil conditions
