While it can be an exciting endeavor to tackle, embarking on a whole-home remodel can be daunting given all the decisions you have to make. One of them is moving out for the duration of the renovation project. As with most things, preparation is important to ensure a smooth and less stressful experience for you and your family. G.M. Roth Design Remodeling, a trusted name in home additions, explains how to prepare for a move before the major remodel takes place.
Determine the duration of your project and find a suitable temporary living space. Consider factors such as budget, proximity to work or school, and the size and features that will accommodate your family’s needs. This may involve renting a nearby apartment, staying with family or friends, or even utilizing a comfortable, long-term hotel room. Planning your living arrangement ensures a more convenient and stress-free transition while your home undergoes renovation.
Before packing up your belongings, create a detailed inventory of all the items in your home. Organize your list by room and importance to help prioritize packing and unpacking. Having a comprehensive inventory will help keep track of your possessions and serve as a useful reference when coordinating with your remodeling team about what needs to be stored or moved during the process.
Coordination is critical to ensuring everything fits seamlessly into your overall remodel timeline. If your renovation project involves house additions, be sure to work closely with your remodelers in planning the layout and design of your new space. Obtain the necessary permits and inspections for the addition as well.
Invest in quality packing materials to protect your items during the move and storage period. Label boxes clearly with their contents and designated room to streamline the unpacking process once your remodel is complete. Choosing a secure storage facility for your belongings during the renovation adds protection and peace of mind.
Maintaining regular contact with your team of renovators throughout the project helps you stay on track and be on the know in terms of the project’s progress. This also allows you to address any concerns or changes that may arise. By staying informed, you’ll feel more at ease with the renovation process.
