Post-Renovation Tips You Shouldn’t Forget About -Having
your home renovated is something that, though it may take some time (depending
on the number of rooms you’re having seen to), is always worth it in the end,
as you’re left with a brand new home or collection of rooms that not only look
great and reflect your personality, they will also help to increase the resale
value of your home when you eventually choose to sell up.
There
are many websites and articles out there dealing with tips and ideas surrounding home
renovations, which is why the focus below will be on tips regarding areas
you should explore after your renovation takes place. These tips are, in no
specified order:
Removing
Rubbish from Your Home
This
should be your number one concern the moment your renovation is complete as,
simply put, you cannot live in a home surrounded by rubbish and debris
accumulated over the course of your home remodelling.
Luckily,
this is much easier than it may seem. There are numerous companies across the
county that offer to take this rubbish away for you, saving you the time and
stress of having to separate your rubbish into separate piles (certain forms of
recycling; glass, metal, and plastics for example), as well as the time it
would take you to pile this into your car and take it to a local facility that
can deal with it.
Search
online for a service of this nature in your city. Whether you need a company offering rubbish
removal in Sydney or elsewhere, there’s a good chance that a quick search
will help you find what you’re looking for. Make sure, when choosing between
your available options, that you focus on quality of service as much as you do
on price.
Wiping
Down Surfaces
Although
you will have been wiping down your surfaces as you went along if you were
still living in your home during the renovation process, once the builders and
everybody else involved in the process have left, it’s important for you to do
one last big wipe-down, as this can help remove the last particles of dust that
have accumulated around your home.
Needless
to say, you’ll need to make sure you have a number of reliable
cleaning resources on hand for this process, and you’ll need to consider
every single possible place dust and grime could have gotten into during the
course of your renovation, such as:
• On top of your kitchen cupboards;
they won’t have to be sparkly clean, but for your own health remove as much of
this dust as possible.
• In your curtains; even if your curtains don’t typically show dust, there’s a good chance it’s there.
• In hidden corners of your rooms; corners cut off from the rest of the room due to furniture, for example, are prime dust collection points.

Ensuring
Everything’s Paid-For
It
may sound simplistic, but when you have a large number of contractors working
on your home at the same time it can become easy to simply forget about one
until you receive a bill many weeks or months later, demanding the money owned
to them alongside some hefty interest.
Once
all your contractors have left, go through all of your finances to ensure
everything has been paid up and you no longer owe anyone anything. Better to do
this now than months down the line.
In
conclusion, home renovations often take some time, but that doesn’t mean you
should forget what you have to do once the renovation is over, namely removing
all the rubbish that has accumulated around your home, wiping down every
surface, and ensuring everything’s been paid for in a timely manner.
