How I Got My Dream Home Renovation With Every Feature and Luxury Finish I Imagined, While Saving Over $150,000...

By applying my pre-planning framework to design my project (so that it would feel simple and easy, and I could avoid mistakes, overwhelm, cost blowouts and regrets).

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I signed up about a year ago and I don't think I could feel more prepared. Thanks to this program, I knew how to approach this project: how to inspect the house, which questions to ask, how to look for contractors, and how to calm myself and my husband on the mornings you wake up at 2 AM and think, What have we gotten ourselves into?"

How It Works:

The Smart Renovation is for homeowners who want to plan and design professional-quality renovations without mistakes, miscommunications, lawsuits, tears, and regrets.

Picture this...

I show you how to become the boss of your renovation so that you can delegate effectively.

You make the right decisions at the right time according to the step-by-step plan I've already created for you.

A few weeks later, you have a detailed, documented plan ready to hand to contractors for accurate estimates.

They are excited to quote your project because of the specificity and detail in your plan, which makes you an ideal client they want to work with.

You're able to choose the best build team based on consistent criteria and a clear understanding of what to look for.

You start construction with absolute clarity and confidence, not stressed at all, because you've already made and documented the important decisions, so everyone is on the same page and crystal clear about the expected outcomes.

How I Did It:

My name is Karen McMillan and I saved over $150,000 on my recent home renovation

...without DIYing the construction,

...or picking cheaper finishes. (In fact, I splurged on high-end products!)

All while keeping my day job & being a busy mom to two young kids.

Planning and Designing my own renovation using the action-by-action process inside "The Smart Renovation" is my exact secret for how I did it.

And it's not just me...this system is being used by hundreds of homeowners to get higher value renovations and remodels.

Most people never renovate because they're scared or too overwhelmed to start.

But knowledge is the cure for fear...

so The Smart Renovation gives you the knowledge (and therefore the confidence) to move forward without fear or uncertainty.

The Smart Renovation Helps You Because...

❌ Contractors can't give accurate quotes without detailed plans. If you approach them early, you're getting ballpark estimates that will only lead to mistakes, delays, and blown budgets.

❌ Interior designers can't understand your home and needs like you do. By doing the strategic work yourself, you get the power to design according to your exact priorities. Just get the designer to help with drawings and validation.

❌ Architects don't handle every detail. They don't make decisions like where to place outlets, what trim will work best, which kitchen cabinets offer the most functionality, or if you want built-in ceiling speakers. The Smart Renovation empowers you to make those decisions, ensuring your plans are complete and reflect your true vision.

...And they all cost thousands more than $49.

The Smart Renovation is helping everyday people plan their dream homes:

Is The Smart Renovation Right For You?

The Smart Renovation is the perfect fit if you want to:

The Smart Renovation is NOT for you if you:

If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and avoid sinking half your budget into design and management fees...

This is the exact process you need
to get the renovation you've always dreamed of—without the huge price tag.

You'll spend smarter, (not more), and get the results you deserve.

Hi, I'm Karen!

The Smart Renovation is the only step-by-step roadmap designed to guide you through every stage of your renovation. It's not just about the big decisions—it's about breaking down the entire process into manageable steps, so you can make your renovation dreams a reality without the overwhelm, budget blowouts, or regret.

This is everything I wished existed when I was getting started. I searched high and low for a clear, actionable roadmap… and it didn't exist.

I was just like you—motivated, ready, and willing to put in the work. But when I turned to Google and YouTube for help, all I found was confusing, conflicting information with no clear direction—and absolutely no guarantees of success.

I was stuck. Overwhelmed. Stressed. And with no clear path forward.

So, after figuring it all out and nailing the process, I knew I had to share it with you.

That's how The Smart Renovation was born.

"It really did save me thousands."

"The Smart Renovation is a no-brainer. There were so many things I would have messed up in my renovation that I've already saved hundreds of times the investment."
- Dan R.

Stop overpaying just because it's the so-called "industry standard."

Stop feeling like you're at the mercy of others just because they're labeled as "industry professionals."

Here's the truth: If construction was really that complicated, Uncle Lenny wouldn't be rolling up in his Lambo to collect a paycheck for a job his 22-year-old nephew and his friends just finished in your home.

The real secret? It's the planning phase that demands the most attention, strategy, and careful thought.

"I saved so much money when I finished my basement."

"Initial quotes I received (before I found The Smart Renovation) were nearly $100k! After working through the process and using the templates, I was able to get exactly what I wanted for a fraction of those original estimates."
- Kim O.

See you inside!
