Homeowners have to make many important decisions before a home remodeling project gets off the ground. One of the most important decisions concerns choosing the right team of home remodeling contractors. Choosing the right team of home remodeling contractors helps you answer other important questions, such as what types of materials to use and developing a project schedule that meets your criteria. One question does not get asked enough by homeowners, but it should.
Can I stay in my home during a home remodeling project? The answer is it depends on the extent of a home remodeling project. At Mares & Dow, we complete a wide variety of home remodeling projects. Most of the home remodeling projects that we tackle allow the homeowner to remain onsite during the entire length of a project. For example, a homeowner does not have to leave the property for us to replace siding or build a retaining wall. However, a few home modeling projects present enough risk to force residents to find temporary shelter, whether the shelter acts as a temporary home for one day or a couple of weeks. Roofing replacement projects typically require homeowners to vacate the property throughout the entire project. If you want to stay at home during a home remodeling project, let’s take a look at a few factors that should help you gain peace of mind. Build Trust with the General Contractor You have to trust the general contractor to do much more than complete the project on time and under budget. Because of the inherent dangers associated with construction work, you also have to trust the general contractor to protect you and your family against getting hurt. One effective way to verify the trust factor with a team of home remodeling contractors involves asking for and checking out professional references. Did the team of general contractors under consideration take the steps required to protect the safety of all residents? Establish a Work Schedule Although your home remodeling project might not be extensive enough to warrant you and your family vacating the premises for an extensive period, the project might require one or two days when it is much safer for residents to spend time elsewhere. Agreeing to a work schedule with the team of home remodeling contractors allows you to plan to account for the day or two when the project includes one or more dangerous procedures. Minimize the Spread of Dust Your home remodeling project might not include any phases that put you and your family immediately in harm’s way. However, there is a good chance that you and your family might become exposed to dust particles. You and the team of home remodeling contractors should devise a plan to minimize the negative health consequences of dust exposure, which should allow everyone to stay onsite throughout the entire project. A mobile dust control system is capable of removing dust particles during both small and large home remodeling projects.
