A better way to budget in Encinitas
- Create a “base scope” budget (what you must do).
- Create a “nice‑to‑have” list (what you’ll add only if the budget allows).
- Hold a contingency for unknowns—especially in older homes.
- Use allowances intentionally so you don’t pick $12/sqft tile when the allowance assumes $4.
