How to Survive a Remodel

Home improvement projects are exciting for any homeowner. After all, who doesn’t love adding aesthetic and market value to their home. However, the time in between the start and completion of any remodeling project can be very stressful, especially when you consider how long some projects take to complete.

So how will you survive the rumble and confusion? Here are a few helpful tips to keep you sane amongst all the construction.

  1. Make sure you have an agreed upon date of completion and be sure that your contractor follows it. Of course there will be unavoidable delays with any project, but be sure your remodel stays as close to on schedule as possible.
  2. Have a set work schedule. Know what days and hours workers will invade your home. This will help you plan around the construction and allow you to live a relatively normal life during your remodel.
  3. If you give out keys to your home, find out which workers are responsible. This way you know who to talk to if a problem arises.
  4. Protect your stuff. Store what you can and cover the rest with dropcloths.
  5. Keep the project isolated. Hang plastic sheets over doorways to work areas to keep the clutter contained.
  6. Make sure you have a Work Free Zone where you can relax and go about your life as normal.
  7. Lay the ground rules. Let workers know what they can and cannot do.
