How To Keep Your House Safe During a Renovation
Briefly

Spring marks the beginning of renovation season, inspiring homeowners to undertake upgrades ranging from fresh paint to remodels. Reports indicate that more homeowners are choosing to renovate instead of sell, driven by high mortgage rates and home prices. With a focus on practical improvements, renovations have shifted to emphasize longevity and the ability to accommodate multigenerational living. Proper preparation, including securing the home and establishing clear boundaries with contractors, is vital for reducing chaos during the renovation process.
A home renovation might look stunning in before-and-after photos, but the in-between can be a messy, chaotic process. Walls may be torn down for weeks, door handles and locks removed, and your once-private home suddenly on display for contractors and neighbors.
As more homeowners commit to long-term, even multigenerational living in their current homes, renovations are no longer just about aesthetics-they're about making a space truly future-proof.
