Miscommunication is often at the root of these horror stories. The homeowners might not clearly communicate their vision to the contractors, or the contractors might not fully understand the scope of work. For instance, if a homeowner wants a modern - looking kitchen but doesn't explain exactly what that means in terms of design elements, the end result could be a disaster. Also, contractors might not keep the homeowners informed about the progress, leading to surprises and frustrations.
