Stacy Cadri writes from the trenches of real home renovation experience, having personally managed five major home projects over the past 12 years while building expertise as a certified project manager and renovation consultant. Unlike writers who observe from the sidelines, Stacy has lived through contractor no-shows, budget overruns, and the stress of finding quality materials during supply shortages.
What sets Stacy apart is the ability to combine hard-earned homeowner wisdom with current market realities. Having renovated homes during both boom and challenging economic periods, Stacy understands how material costs, contractor availability, and supply chain issues affect real renovation timelines and budgets in 2025.
Stacy's approach is refreshingly honest about renovation complications while providing practical solutions that actually work. From dealing with permit delays to managing contractor relationships, the guidance comes from someone who has navigated these challenges personally and helped other homeowners avoid common pitfalls.
As a certified renovation project manager, Stacy maintains relationships with contractors, suppliers, and building officials to stay current on market conditions, code changes, and realistic project costs. The mission is simple: help homeowners make informed decisions based on current realities rather than outdated assumptions or idealistic timelines.
