Any renovation or remodel project will impact your life. Be it a kitchen remodel,\u00a0bedroom renovation\u00a0or room addition, it\u2019s likely to improve your home\u2019s comfort, functionality, efficiency and overall value. To get to that point, you will have to endure some minor inconveniences, and it\u2019s not just you who will be affected by all the noise and dust\u2014your neighbors will too. And unlike you, they won\u2019t benefit from any of the work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to build and maintain good relationships with your neighbors, regardless of who\u2019s getting the work done. If you happen to be the one undergoing a remodel, here are some ways to make sure that neighbors will remain neighborly.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tell your neighbors about the remodel in advance.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s best to tell your neighbors about an upcoming renovation so they will know to prepare for it as well. Let them know when the project will start and what they should expect. Will there be a lot of noise? Will local traffic flow be affected? This way, there are no surprises.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Consider your neighbors\u2019 schedules.<\/strong>\n

      \n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      One way to cause as little disruption as possible is to make sure the contractors work during normal business hours, when your neighbors are at work and school. Ask your neighbors about their usual routines too, so workers won\u2019t wake them too early in the morning.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Don\u2019t block other driveways.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Make sure that your contractor\u2019s vehicles are not parked in front of neighboring driveways. They also should not park in neighbors\u2019 parking areas if you have street parking in your area.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Be open to concerns.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          While the project is ongoing, be sure to talk to your neighbors and ask if they are being inconvenienced in any way.<\/p>\n
