What to Do Before Our Team Arrives

The day before your renovation starts is an exciting milestone, but a little preparation will help ensure everything runs smoothly. Here’s a simple checklist to follow before our team arrives.

1. Clear Out Your Bathroom

To help the team start work immediately, remove all personal items, including:
✔ Toiletries, towels, and bath mats
✔ Storage baskets, shelving, and small furniture
✔ Shower caddies, mirrors, and decorations

Tip: If you plan to keep any existing fixtures (like a mirror or vanity), let us know in advance.

2. Set Up a Temporary Bathroom Solution

If your home has only one bathroom, you’ll need an alternative setup during the renovation.
✔ Use a laundry sink or kitchen sink for washing up
✔ Consider a portable camping shower if needed
✔ Arrange access to a neighbour’s or family member’s bathroom if possible

Tip: Plan showers the night before, as water access may be temporarily turned off during the first day.

3. Make Space for the Renovation Team

To ensure a safe and efficient workspace:
✔ Clear the hallway and entryways leading to the bathroom
✔ Move any fragile items, wall art, or valuables from nearby areas
✔ Provide access to power outlets if needed for tools

Tip: If you have pets, consider keeping them in a safe area away from the renovation zone.

4. Plan for Noise & Disruptions

Renovations involve drilling, hammering, and material deliveries. Be prepared by:
✔ Notifying family members or housemates about the work schedule
✔ Making alternative work-from-home arrangements if you need a quiet space
✔ Informing neighbours if your home is in an apartment or shared complex

Tip: Most of the loudest work happens in the first few days during demolition.

5. Provide Clear Access to Your Home

To help our team get started quickly:
✔ Ensure driveways and pathways are clear for deliveries
✔ Let us know how to access your home if you won’t be there
✔ Disable any home alarms or security settings that may interfere

Tip: If you need work to start at a specific time, confirm it with us the day before.

6. Communicate Any Special Requests

If you have specific preferences or concerns, let us know ahead of time, including:
✔ Work hours or noise restrictions in your home
✔ Items you want to keep or reuse
✔ Any security or parking arrangements our team should be aware of

Tip: Keeping an open line of communication ensures a smooth experience for everyone.

7. Trust the Process & Get Excited!

Now that everything is ready, sit back and relax—we’ve got it covered!
✔ Expect some dust and noise—it’s all part of the transformation process.
✔ Keep in touch with our team if you have any questions along the way.
✔ Get excited about seeing your new bathroom come to life!
