Remodeling Amid Covid-19 Shelter in Place Orders

Perhaps you started a renovation prior to the government mandated shut-down, or all the excess time at home has you wondering when you can tackle a nagging area of your home. What is one to do? If you’re currently in the construction phase, know construction trades have been deemed necessary trade and work will continue pushing forward. Workers will practice social distancing, more frequent hand washing, and disinfecting of frequently used equipment.

What if you were just thinking about starting a project? Well, you are still in luck! There is a common misconception that as soon as you decide to tackle a remodel, construction begins shortly after. The reality is, prior to the first day of demolition, there is a lot of work that needs to be taken care of. Figuring out the initial scope of work, floor plans, and material and finish selections are all things that can take weeks before crews head to the job site. Another positive is that so much design work is now done digitally.
