Whether you’re tackling a whole-home remodel or a home addition, it is important to take extra measures to keep your home secure from start to finish. With construction crews coming and going and various areas of your home exposed, it can be challenging to maintain security. Today’s blog post discusses a few tips to keep your home safe and protected while undergoing a renovation project.
Work With a Trusted Team of Remodeling Professionals
One of the best ways to keep your home secure during a renovation is to hire a reputable team of professionals who value your home’s safety. Take the time to research remodelers in your area. Check references and reviews to ensure they have a history of satisfied clients and secure work environments.
Secure the Construction Site
Limit access to the renovation area as much as possible. Install temporary fencing or barriers to deter unauthorized entry. Keep construction materials and tools secure by storing them in a locked area or out of sight when not in use.
Update Your Home Security System
Inform your security provider about your renovation to make any necessary adjustments to your existing system. Depending on the extent of your project, you may need to update security settings or sensors. Consider adding temporary security cameras or motion detectors to closely monitor the construction site.
Communicate With Neighbors
Share with your neighbors the expected timeline of your renovation and ask them to inform you about any suspicious activity. Offer to return the favor during their own renovation projects.
Protect Your Valuables
Remove valuable items from the construction area and store them securely in a safe or in an off-site storage rental facility. Keep an inventory of valuables and their locations for added peace of mind.
