A home remodeling project typically starts with demolition, and walls, flooring, countertops, and appliances may be removed. Since there’ll be several materials taken out of the house, you may need a temporary waste management solution to keep the project running smoothly. Here are a few more tips to help you prepare for a quick and convenient demolition.

How to Prepare for Demolition

1. Provide Easy Access

Since the demolition team will be traversing through your home with heavy loads of materials and tools, you should remove obstructions from walkways so that they can move with ease. This may entail relocating furniture and taking down nearby curtains or low-hanging light fixtures that are in the way.

2. Relocate Pets

To prevent pets from nipping at the heels or darting under the feet of demolition workers, keep them confined to another room. Since demolition makes a lot of noise and can continue for several hours, skittish animals may be confused and intimidated by the unusual sounds and activity. If your four-legged friend is wary of strangers or frightened easily, relocate them to a friend or neighbor’s house until the work is complete.

3. Isolate Other Rooms

The area may become dusty during demolition, so keep other rooms clean by closing doors and stuffing rolled towels underneath to prevent dust from spreading. If there are no doors between the demolition site and adjacent rooms, cover furniture with sheets or tarps.

4. Arrange for Waste Management

Having a waste receptacle on-site will allow the demolition team to quickly and efficiently remove items from the house. A waste management bin will also increase their productivity and shorten the project’s timeline as workers won’t need to expend manpower to make multiple trips to the dump.
