Before a single tool is lifted, you should remove everything from the area being worked on.
Pack up the small things: Empty out all cabinets, countertops, and shelving.
Remove personal items: Clear out any artwork, family photos, and valuable electronics.
Clear a path: Keep hallways and entryways completely clear so crews can move materials and equipment in and out safely without scratching walls.

No matter how careful a crew is, remodeling creates dust. While our Home Makeover team takes extensive measures to cover openings and protect the surfaces immediately surrounding our work area, dust can travel through HVAC vents.
Use heavy plastic sheeting or drop cloths to cover furniture in adjacent rooms.
Protect your fabrics: If you are doing a major kitchen or living room remodel, consider taking down curtains and storing delicate rugs away from the site.

If you have children or pets, construction zones pose safety hazards. Set clear, physical boundaries using safety gates or temporary walls. Designate specific entry doors for the construction crew so they don't have to walk through your private living spaces to access the job site.

For minor cosmetic updates, staying home is perfectly fine. However, during primary constructionโlike a structural kitchen teardown, a whole-home renovation, or major plumbing and electrical rewiringโwe highly advise finding temporary housing.
Preparation reduces friction. Taking the time to prep your home properly protects your belongings, keeps our crews safe, and sets the entire project up for a fast, successful timeline.
