        "text": "A minor update typically involves cosmetic changes that don't alter the structure or layout of a space, such as painting, replacing fixtures, or refacing cabinets. These projects generally have a shorter timeline and lower cost. A major renovation, on the other hand, involves significant structural alterations, reconfiguring layouts, updating plumbing or electrical systems, or adding square footage. Major renovations require more extensive planning, permits, and a larger budget due to the increased labor and material costs involved.",
