You're Not Imagining It.
Renovations Have Become a Minefield

Out of nowhere,

Budgets skyrocket.
Timelines stretch.
You've spent thousands on plans before you even know how much those plans will cost to build.

Even the “pros” you hired leave you with more questions than answers. Why?

Because the renovation industry loves worried homeowners. Service providers make their easiest money when you're passive and dependent on them to guide you.

And your project is paying the price.

If you're not leading your renovation, it drifts. Costs climb. Decisions get made without you.
No red flags. No official mistakes. Just confusion, delays, and money gone.

It's not your fault.
But it is your problem.

And there's only one way to fix it:
Stop waiting for someone else to take control—and start leading like a Reno Boss.

Here Is The Good News

You can take control of your renovation.
But only if you change the way you approach it.

Most homeowners unknowingly follow outdated advice—and pay the price. Stressful decisions Sky-high quotes. Layouts that don't feel right. It's not because you're not capable. It's because no one has shown you how to lead.

Here's why:

The renovation industry wasn't designed for homeowners to lead.
It was built for speed, not strategy... For professionals, not people trying to get it right the first time.

And that's why your renovation feels overwhelming... Why every small change costs more... And why you're unsure who to trust + what comes next.

The system hasn't failed. It's just not built with you in mind.

Today, homeowners who get the best results don't rely on others to steer the ship.
They learn how to lead.
They use tools. They ask better questions. They plan before they spend.

That's what it means to become a Reno Boss.

To lead your renovation with confidence, you need two essential shifts:

1. A smarter planning system — so you can see the whole picture before anyone else starts working on it

2. A leadership mindset — so you stop second-guessing and start making decisions like the one in charge

Meet Your Guide

👋 Hi there, I'm Karen!

As a general contractor, designer, and founder of Barn Cat Renovations, I help homeowners plan and manage efficient, high-value renovations—without the guesswork, the chaos, or the massive regret.

After managing my own full gut renovation (and making plenty of early mistakes), I realized the industry wasn't built for people like us—smart, capable homeowners who just want to do it right.

So I created the tools, systems, and support I wish I'd had—now used by dozens of homeowners who've chosen to take the lead on their renovation projects.

This isn't about guesswork. It's about real strategy, rooted in documented process, that really works.

If you want to feel clear, confident, and in control—you're in the right place. Dip your toes into being a Reno Boss with this Starter Club.

You'll walk away with more than a few tips.

You'll leave with a system—a clear path to leading your renovation with intention, not anxiety.
