Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom is one way to give your entire home a better appearance. Let’s face it, times change and so do our needs. If we have the money now, why not improve the facilities we currently have to make them better?
There are so many things that go into a bathroom or kitchen remodel that you and your family literally have to prepare for what’s about to happen. However, the final product will definitely be worth it.
First, you need to understand all the materials and equipment that go into a major renovation like this. And guess where all this is going? Yes, it goes into the garage, living room, basement, porch, etc. Anywhere there is enough space, you will probably see that space filled with tools, parts, and equipment.
This is especially difficult for neat freaks who normally can’t bear to see a speck of dust on their counter, let alone a house full of equipment and materials. If you consider yourself a “tidy freak,” you need to mentally prepare yourself for the disaster that is about to strike your home. Here are some tips to help you prepare and be ready for the remodel.
Pick up and save things:
Your house is going to become a revolving door for people to come and go. All of these professionals would love to be able to get to work immediately and get out as quickly as possible. Be a good host and clean up anything that might get in your way. This just means leaving them a clear path to get from the gate to your project.
Make a storage area:
It would also be nice of you to provide an area for workers to store all their tools and equipment. This will not only help you become more efficient by getting things done faster, but it will also help you and your family feel a little more organized and give you more leeway around your home.
Buy a shop vac:
Any time you do a major renovation, there is likely to be a lot of dust and debris collecting. This dust is going to get into the air and literally cover everything in the room. If you don’t already have a shop vac, it might be a good idea to get one. Your old home vac will not be able to handle the amount of dust and debris that a shop vac could.
