Should you move out while remodeling?

Posted on October 22, 2019December 9, 2019 By Lisa Roberts No Comments on Should you move out while remodeling?

Once you decide to renovate, there’s a huge dilemma you’re about to face. Should you move out while remodeling? There are both pros and cons of leaving your home while the home renovation takes place – but what’s best for you? Here are the main things you should be aware of before you decide to move out while remodeling.

Reasons why you should move out while remodeling your home

Here are some main advantages of not living in your home when it’s being renovated. These might help you decide to move out much easier.

A thumb up for all the reasons to move out while remodeling.
There are a lot of reasons to move out while remodeling.

You’re remodeling most of the rooms in your home

Remodeling one, not so important room for everyday functioning, doesn’t require you to move out. On the other hand, if you are renovating the entire house or most of the rooms – you won’t be able to function properly and that’s one of the good reasons to find a temporary home.

Depending on how serious remodeling you are organizing you need to decide whether to move out during the remodeling or not.

Kids shouldn’t be around the housework

Children are much more sensitive to dust, noise or any other harsh impact of home remodeling. Also, don’t forget the toxins that might be present due to painting or using glue. Kids love running around the home and they may touch the remodeling supplies, pick up dust from the floor and create even more mess. That’s why if your family includes kids– moving out is a good idea.

You have allergies

If you are allergic to dust or sensitive to harsh smells – you will be better out of your home while remodeling.  Even though there are ways to help the situation – install an air purifier, use drywall to reduce toxins, clean your house properly, etc. – if you don’t feel well you should definitely move out while remodeling. Also, if your family includes seniors with poor health, they might enjoy staying in a peaceful, clean place while the work is being done.

You’re renovating bathroom and kitchen

There are some rooms in your home that you don’t need to ‘survive’ the weeks/months of remodeling. One of them is certainly not the kitchen and bathroom. That’s why if you include these two in the renovation process, be sure to consider the idea of moving out for a while.

Things that may persuade not to you move out while remodeling

Deciding whether or not you should move out while remodeling often requires a lot of thought. That’s why you should consider both the pros and cons of your situation and decide what’s the best thing to do. Here are some things to consider as well.

The budget

When you decide to move out while remodeling, it’s not just picking up your bag and leaving. It requires extra effort and of course – more money. You need to prepare an additional budget for moving out, since you’ll be needing a new home, transport of you and all the necessary items, etc. However, there’s one thing not to worry about – a moving company like purpleheartmovinggroup.com  will handle your move professionally, at affordable rates.

Be sure to include the moving costs in your remodeling budget if you decide to move out while remodeling.

You have enough space in your home

If you are renovating only some parts of your home – you may have enough space left to live there until the work is finished. Try to imagine how your everyday routine would look like with all the renovation in the house and is there enough space (like an additional floor) to manage both of these successfully.

All the stress of moving

Yes, moving can be stressful, especially if you have kids running around. It requires you to pack, find a new home, move, and then move back. If you are not ready to do this, and it’s not absolutely necessary to move out while remodeling – maybe you should give up on that idea.
