About This Course
Most kitchen renovations go over budget, over schedule, or both - not because of bad luck, but because homeowners are handed contractor bids before they've built a solid plan. This free course changes that. You'll get the exact planning framework Cristina DePina uses on every renovation she designs: a system built across 20+ years and 200+ projects that consistently delivers on-budget, on-time results.
Inside, you'll master the 3-Number Budget System that eliminates the guessing game between your dream kitchen and your real number. Module 2 walks you through a 16-week decision timeline so nothing falls through the cracks, no last-minute selections, no costly change orders.
Module 1 is completely free, no sign-up required. Ready to plan like a pro? Start now.
