Tips for remodeling clients: Here are a few things to keep in mind, depending on your remodeling project:

(a) If you are having a kitchen redone you will be without a kitchen for several weeks. It is usually best to set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in your home. We can help you set up a temporary kitchen so you have easy access to your refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, etc…

(b) If you are having a bathroom redone you will need to remove all your belongings from that bathroom and relocate them to another bathroom. Keep all of your daily toiletries and necessities so that they can be easily accessed.

(c) Remember to keep all fragile items in a safe and secure place. Remove any pictures or other items that are on the walls or walls adjacent to rooms being renovated. Dust is a given, but we keep it at a minimum with tarps, plastic enclosures, along with daily cleaning of the project area. You may still want to cover your furniture and fine drapery in adjacent rooms.

(d) For the safety of your family, friends, and pets we ask that you keep them away from the remodeling site and be responsible for their safety at all times.
