How To Make It Through the Holidays During a Remodel

Will you be doing some home remodeling during this holiday season and wondering how you can get through it? Well, the holidays alone may seem overwhelming enough, but with some easy planning, you can make this remodeling project a breeze.

Tips for Making It Through the Holidays During a Remodel

Even before your remodeling contractor has begun working in your home, here are some tips you can implement to ensure this process goes smoothly.

Stay Ahead With Your Planning

Is your kitchen or bathroom going to be remodeled? If your kitchen is the area being remodeled, you can plan ahead by cooking your meals in advance. You can cook your meals and easily keep them in the freezer so they won’t go bad. This saves you a lot of time and thinking about what you are going to eat while your remodeling project is ongoing. Simply pop it in the microwave when you are ready.

Coordinate

Organization is everything. Coordinating meals and schedules will help you stay on top of things when the remodeling process begins. For example, you can begin by creating a list of items you will need to be able to easily retrieve while the project is going on. If your kitchen is being remodeled, you can store the things you need, such as your toaster, or coffee pot, and move them into another room. If your bathroom is going to be remodeled, you can transfer the items you use on a daily basis to another area.

Talk It Over With the Contractor

If you are worried about anything before the remodeling process begins, make sure that you speak with your contractor ahead of time. This will help establish certain things, so you and the contractor both know what to expect. You also want to be sure you ask about the amount of time the contractor will be able to work daily, where they can throw things away, etc.

Stay Positive

The good news is that this remodeling project is only temporary. A small adjustment is nothing to stress over, even if your project will be ongoing during the holidays. Try to remain positive. If you want to keep up with how the remodeling is coming along, make a list of every step involved and as they are finished, mark them off. This will keep you from stressing out.
