        "text": "A minor renovation typically involves cosmetic updates or small-scale changes that don't alter the home's structure or layout, such as painting, new flooring, or replacing fixtures. A major home remodel, conversely, involves more significant changes like reconfiguring floor plans, adding or removing walls, or altering electrical and plumbing systems. Major remodels usually require permits and a longer timeline. Understanding this difference helps set expectations for project scope and investment.",
