        "text": "A primary bathroom remodel may reveal outdated wiring, damaged framing, corroded plumbing, uneven floors, poor ventilation, or prior water damage. These conditions cannot always be confirmed until finishes are removed, so a realistic plan should identify how unexpected work will be evaluated and approved. Context: fixing concealed problems before closing walls protects the new finishes and future usability. Key factors: home age, prior remodel quality, staining, odors, recurring leaks, panel capacity, and the condition of shutoff valves. Practical guidance: ask for a documented change-order process with photos, a description of the repair, cost, and schedule effect before authorizing extra work. Keep a contingency separate from decorative upgrades. Elite Remodeling & Design can incorporate discovered conditions into the coordinated construction plan.",
