Once your remodel has been completed, you can breathe a sigh of relief. However, don’t relax too much just yet, as there are a few things you still need to do. To make sure all your bases are covered, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno, your best choice when searching for a “contractor near me”, is here with a guide.
Walk Through Your Remodel
A final walkthrough is always necessary to verify the remodel has been completed according to your specifications. Each aspect of the remodeled kitchen or bathroom must meet your expectations, so point out anything you’re not so sure about. This is usually done with your contractor; they’ll likely point out the imperfections themselves and address them accordingly.
Do a Thorough Cleaning
Remodeling projects tend to be very messy, even with professional contractors implementing precautions to keep the mess to a minimum. You can expect a certain amount of dust and debris to end up in parts of your home that were not part of the remodel. Of course, professional contractors will always offer post-cleaning service as part of the bathroom or kitchen quote, but if you decide to save and do it yourself, you can expect to see the work site a bit messy after completion.
Apart from cleaning dust and debris, you’ll also need to replace the air filters that were in place during the remodel. And whether you do the cleaning yourself or have contractors do it for you, it’s always important to check that the place is spotless before putting back furniture and other personal items.
Make Sure to Update Your Insurance
After the remodel, don’t forget to call your insurance provider and discuss adjusting the limits of your policy. They’ll usually send a city assessor or an insurance agent to visit and appraise your remodeled home. You may also need to document your investment in the remodel, especially if it’s a major home renovation. You can also take this time to register the warranties on any new products and appliances to make warranty claims easier to process should something happen to your home.
