Who doesn’t love to breathe fresh air into their old homes through renovations? But the renovation process can get on the nerves. Irrespective of the scale of the project, home renovations can leave your home in disarray and disrupt your daily routine. But if you prepare yourself and your home in advance, dealing with the process can get a lot easier. 

Here are a few tips to prepare your home for home renovation.

Take a look –

1. Prepare everyone for the big renovation

A lot goes on at the site of renovation. Hence, things get very messy. Dust, dirt, the noise of machines, people coming in and going out, etc., can take a toll on the residents, especially on the elderly and children. Hence, preparing everyone for the renovation is paramount.

Tell every member of your family about the renovation project- the scale, expected duration, and other details.

Decide on moving the elderly members of your house out or shifting them into the part of the house that will be unaffected by the mess.

Also, mentally prepare yourself to embrace chaos throughout the length of the project. Having a strong mental makeup regarding renovation will help you deal with the disruption in a much better way.

Furthermore, also inform your neighbors about the renovation. You might need approval from them if you live in a condo.  

2. Hire a skilled contractor

Having an expert and experienced contractor by your side translates to better work and no delays. Make a list of the best home renovation contractors in Delhi and research their past work. Once you have finalized the contractor, set a budget and be clear with your expectations.

Keep all the channels of communication open so that you don’t have to suffer expensive delays.

3. Upgrade your security system

During the entire length of renovation, you will have several people visiting your home- your contractor, interior designer, plumber, electrician, carpenter, delivery people, etc. Make sure to upgrade your security system for the security of your family members.

Switch to smart locks, get surveillance cameras installed everywhere, get a video doorbell, etc., before the renovation starts.

4. Clear the space

Whether it’s a large-scale renovation or a small remodeling project, clearing the space is a prerequisite to protect your expensive stuff from damage.

Most renovations also involve bringing down walls, which creates a lot of mess. Hence, make sure you move all your belongings from the room.

If you want to move your furniture, consider renting a storage space so that you don’t disturb other parts of your house.

5. Cover the remaining space

After you have removed all your belongings, cover the floor and the furniture (if you can’t move it) with a large plastic sheet. It will protect your furniture from dust particles that fill the space throughout the renovation process.

6. Make your living arrangement

Dirt, dust, and noise are byproducts of renovation. If you have a large home, coping with them becomes easy, but if you live in a small apartment, it would be wiser to consider an alternate living arrangement.

Make all the arrangements well in advance to avoid major inconvenience. Book the accommodation, pack all the necessary stuff, and move out before the process commences. Make sure you stay close to your home so that you can keep a tab on the progress.

If you are planning to stay at your home during the renovation, make suitable arrangements. For instance, if you are renovating your kitchen, create a makeshift kitchen in any other room.

7. Be ready for surprises

You may have chalked out a foolproof plan, kept an eye on every little detail, and even decided on the deadline, but keep yourself ready for surprises. You never know when a problem will crop up at any stage of the renovation process causing unexpected delays.

Hence, always expect the unexpected when renovating your home.
