How to Prepare Your Home for a Remodel

There are many ways to prepare your family for a remodeling project.

Deciding to remodel your home is a big deal, and there are many things that you and your family should do to prepare for the process. Since remodeling encompasses a broad range of home projects both large and small, some of these tips might not apply to your specific home remodeling project. Here are some of our best tips for preparing your home for a remodeling project this summer.

Be Prepared for the Less Fun Stuff
First, you need to mentally prepare yourself to make less-than- fun decisions. The
early phases of remodeling are fun and filled with exciting decisions like picking the
right hardwood flooring and choosing what millwork you would like to add to your
living room. Once the beginning phase ends, it’s time for a lot of hard work on your
end and on the contractor’s end. Keep in mind that construction is always loud and
messy, so you may need to significantly adjust your living patterns until the
remodeling project ends.
Get Ready for Noise
If you and your family are away from the home during business hours, this might
not bother you. However, if you work from home, it’s best to either set up your
home office far away from the area of the home being remodeling or work
somewhere else during the day. You will almost never be able to get to a quiet and
serene place in your home, so be prepared to adjust your work hours or work
location if you typically work from home. If you are particularly concerned about
noise, discuss it with your contractor beforehand to work out a plan for minimizing
the noise when you and your family are home.
Make Quick Decisions
Remodeling can also mean lots of decisions that you will need to make on relatively
short notice. Sometimes, costly problems and opportunities pop up that you will
need to remedy immediately. Remodeling projects are known for going over budget,
and many times that is due to last-minute changes or unknown problems that
suddenly appeared. Be prepared to make quick decisions and potentially spend
more than anticipated.
