Remodeling your home can be an exciting venture, transforming spaces to reflect your style and meet your needs. However, the journey from old to new can often be dusty and messy, causing inconvenience and stress. At Barnes Sklare Remodeling & Home Improvements, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean environment throughout the remodeling process. Here are ways to keep the mess to a minimum during your project.
Communicate With Your Contractor
From the start, it’s vital to talk with your contractor about site preparation and protection plans. Clearly express your expectations for cleanliness and ask what measures they will take to control dust and mess. This proactive approach will ensure your home stays as tidy as possible, minimizing disruptions.
Contain the Mess
Blocking off the renovation area is an effective way to minimize mess during construction. Use heavy-duty tarps or plastic sheeting to create a barrier that cuts down the spread of dust. Make sure to tape all edges tightly, and consider using adhesive zippers for easy access. Protect your floors with construction paper or cloth. Cover any furniture or appliances to protect them from damage.
Clean at the End of Each Workday
Using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum at the end of each workday can help capture the finer dust particles that regular vacuums may miss. You can also run a HEPA air purifier to filter out dust continuously. For larger-scale remodels, renting a commercial-grade air scrubber for the project’s duration may be beneficial.
Consider Temporary Relocation
Decide if you will stay in your home during construction based on how big the project is and your comfort. Staying may require extra protective measures. It could also increase costs because of daily setup and cleanup. Temporarily moving out can speed up the remodel and may be more economical.
Post-Construction Cleaning
Deep cleaning is necessary after a remodel. Talk to your contractor about their post-renovation cleaning services. Another option is to hire a professional cleaning team to ensure your new space is spotless and looks great.
