Prepare Yourself: Things to Expect During a Major Remodel

 

Anyone who has completed a big home remodeling project will say that it takes a huge amount of time, effort, and resources. For first-time homeowners, unexpected things during a remodel can be stressful. While it’s hard not to feel worried when planning for projects as big as a window or door replacement, you can reduce your stress by coming prepared for any contingency.

Expect During a Major Remodel

Renewal by Andersen® is the premier company for window installation in San Francisco and the surrounding areas. As such, we can help you gear up for your next major upgrade project. Here are some things you should expect when planning for your home improvement:

  • Incessant Noise – Home improvement involves power tools and other construction equipment. This means that you’re bound to encounter noise throughout the project. Be sure to inform your neighbors about this and let them know about your project’s target completion date.
  • Dust and Other Mess – Both simple and major remodels can leave a considerable amount of mess in your home. That’s why you need to make sure that the company you hire takes precautionary measures to avoid tracking dust and other mess in your living spaces. Renewal by Andersen, for instance, is particular about cleanliness when finishing a San Francisco window installation. We’ll use drop cloths to catch debris and wear protective coverings to avoid making a mess.
  • Changes in the Original Plan – When you’re upgrading your windows, your contractor might find hidden damage behind the walls and along your opening. This will require additional repairs and replacements to make right. It’s important to set aside some extra budget to use for such contingencies. In addition, if you’re looking to change some aspects in your documented plan, sit with your contractor and talk about it. Change orders can be tricky if both parties do not address them properly.

You might also experience other problems aside from those mentioned, such as delays, outliers, and change in your daily routine. To help make your remodel experience as hassle-free as possible, you can turn to Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco. Our experts will make sure that your home improvement runs smoothly from start to finish.
