This week Tried & True Services completed a double bathroom remodel in Naperville, IL. We were approached by our customers a few months ago wanting to remodel their master and hall bathrooms. As we discussed the details of the project it was decided that we tackle bathrooms at the same time. The customer had an additional full bath in their basement as well as a powder room on the first floor, so they would not be without during the process. It also helped that they would be on vacation for the first week.

This brings up a great topic when deciding on how to schedule your next remodeling project. How to operate my household around the space being renovated?

Some things to remember when remodeling your kitchen, bathroom or just having some rooms painted:

1) Where will you put all the furniture from the project space? Do you need a storage pod?

2) What items do you need to have access to during the project?

3) Can you live in the home during the renovation?

4) Do you or your family members have allergies? If so, it's a good idea to have an air filtration system running in the room that they will be sleeping in.

5) If you are staying in your house during the project, are you or any of your family sensitive to chemicals? Off gassing is a major concern during, however if your contractor is using Low or No VOC products then the risks are minimal.

Just remember that it is hard to plan for every scenario, but taking a few moments to consider how the project will effect your everyday life will dramatically decrease the stress of the project. It will also prepare you and your family for what is to come and how life might be during your next home improvement project.
