Starting a home renovation project is exciting. You probably have made plans and project schedules, but have you figured out where you and your family are going to live while it happens? There are a few different living options to consider when completing a home renovation project.

Stay at a Hotel

One option for you during a home renovation project is to stay in a hotel. The benefit of this option is that you will have access to food in the hotel including room service. You may also have other benefits like laundry service. You will not have to worry about rearranging your life around a construction zone and will likely be comfortable. However, depending on the length of renovation, this option can cost you a significant amount of money. You will also have to make some changes to your commute schedule depending on the distance of the hotel to your work or school. 

Stay in Your Home

Another option during a home renovation is to stay put in your own home. This is a good option if you are renovating rooms that you can separate from the rest of your home. It is also a safe option if you are doing a home renovation project that does not include potentially hazardous materials or does not pose any danger to you or your family. You will want to take some safety precautions if you stay in your home. Floor markings can communicate important safety information on a worksite. Putting up some kind of barrier can help keep your family safe from debris.

Stay With Family or Friends

Another option you have during a home renovation project is to stay with family or friends. If you have family or friends who live near you and have space for you to stay this is a good option. You will be able to see and spend time with the people you love and have access to what you need like a place to sleep, a kitchen to cook in, and laundry facilities. You can thank them by cooking for them while you stay there and inviting them over once your home renovation project is completed.

Remember to make your plans for where you are going to stay early in the planning process for your home renovation. This is especially important if you are not planning on staying in your home. There are benefits to each option but one will likely be the best choice for you and your family.
