📍 Princeton-Specific Cost Considerations
Princeton’s historic homes and permitting process can impact budgets:
- Older home complications (asbestos, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint) can add 15–20% to demo and prep.
- Permit timelines range from 4–12 weeks. We build those into our start dates.
- Custom materials are often preferred—clients want timeless finishes like whitewashed brick, arches, or low-maintenance wood-look exteriors.
