Starting Major Rennovations On Your Home? Ways To Protect Your Space And Provide Ammentities While Maintaining Privacy
Updating and remodeling your home can be a long and tedious process, but there are things you can do to make the process less stressful. Prepping your home for people to be in and out will not only protect the house, it will also give you some privacy at the same time.
You want to make sure that you protect the existing materials and things inside the house that need it, and that you also prepare for the workers. Here are some of the things that you will want to do.
Wrap the Carpeting
Put down a plastic wrap over all the carpeting in your home that could be damaged by the construction or staff walking through. They won't have time to put on protective booties every time they come in and out, and this will help protect the carpet from dust, debris, and dirt. This protective wrapping can be purchased at a home improvement store, and you'll want to use tape to hold it in place against the trim if you can't get it tucked under the baseboards.
Get a Porta Potty
You don't want random people in and out of your bathroom in the home. Have a porta potty dropped off at the property for the project going on. The advantages of this includes:
- It keeps your bathrooms private and clean
- The porta potty is stocked with toilet paper and sanitizer
- Staff don't have to leave the property to use the bathroom
- The delivery company cleans and maintains it
Get costs for having this unit dropped off and set up a plan for how often it has to be serviced while your project is going on. If you tell the sanitation company how many staff and for how long they can give you an estimate on a good schedule.
Contact a porta potty supplier near you to learn more about this service.
Protect Hard Surface Floors
Roll out paper to cover the hard surface floors in your home or get runners and rugs to put down. You don't want scratches, cracks, or other damages to become a problem because a team of construction workers with boots and tools are walking in and out on your smooth surfaces. This is easy to do and the coverings can be changed when needed.
Run an Air Purification Machine
There will be a lot of dust and debris in the air when you have construction inside the home. Run an air purification machine to try to keep the air as clean as possible, and to try to keep the house clean. Be sure to check the filtration area and dump out debris or replace the filter when needed.
You may also want to seal off the areas of the house where the construction is taking place. If you have a home renovation project going on, protect as much as you can. Give the workers somewhere to use the bathroom that isn't your own toilet, and leave your house every day with ease.
