The COVID-19 pandemic has altered many of our habits, but it doesn't have to stop your home remodeling project. There are precautions you can take that help everyone involved stay safe. Use this guide to ensure your project follows COVID-19 guidelines. 

4 Tips for a Safe Home Remodeling Project During the Pandemic

1. Schedule Virtual Consultations

Request virtual consultations with remodeling contractors. Use the meetings to give tours and discuss what you would like done, such as adding a sunroom or converting the attic into an office. Ask the contractors if they practice social distancing, do daily temperature checks, and use hand sanitizer. 

2. Clean Before Construction Starts

Use disinfecting wipes on every applicable surface in your house. Before leaving, place antibacterial hand soap in every bathroom and let the remodeling contractors know you sanitized the residence. Keep a stocked area of cleaning products that they can access to prevent the spread of germs. Also, consider using plastic sheets to protect areas that don't need work and close household vents to reduce dust circulation. 

3. Make Temporary Living Arrangements

Stay with healthy friends or family members while the project takes place. Otherwise, you can stay in a hotel that follows strict COVID-19 guidelines. Leaving home also allows the contractors to work efficiently and prevents you and your family from breathing in dust. 

4. Stay Flexible 

Keep in mind that any service takes longer because of the pandemic. For example, the arrival of materials may lag due to supply chain interruptions. Create a realistic timeline with the remodeling contractors, and make arrangements with your hotel so that you can extend your stay if needed.
