Another is damage to existing structures like plumbing or electrical systems, as I mentioned before. Bad workmanship is also a big issue, like when things are installed incorrectly.
In many home remodel horror stories, there are issues with communication. The homeowners and the contractors may not be on the same page about what is supposed to be done. This can lead to things being done wrong or not to the homeowner's expectations. Also, cost overruns are common.
