The Do’s & Don’ts of Renovation

D.I.Y. renovating – when done right, it can dramatically improve your living or working space, add value, and enhance your quality of life. Done wrong, it can become a costly, time-consuming nightmare. From our expert team at C&L, here are some Do’s and Don’ts when giving your space a refresh!

The Do’s

Plan & Prepare: Define your vision to set yourself up for success from the beginning! Set a budget realistic to your goals, stay on track by developing a detailed plan and deadlines, and stock up on any power tools, hand tools, ladders, or tool accessories needed.

Safety First: Don’t forget to prioritise your safety; make sure you are well protected from worksite renovation dangers with proper PPE and safety equipment.

Demo Day: Get your tools out and start hammering away at your tasks! Be sure to cover anything you don’t want to damage and safely seal off any work areas. Avoid mistakes and work with precision by using tools like laser levels to guarantee the results you want.

Clean-Up: Renovating is a messy job! Make sure you are able to properly dispose of waste and keep your space clear of debris. It will not only keep your site and yourself safer, but it also keeps the process organised – setting you up to achieve your goals more efficiently!

The Don’ts

Rush Your Planning: Hasty, thoughtless or spare-of-the-moment decisions can spell disaster for your renovation jobs. Starting without a solid plan or goal in mind and underestimating the cost of the job will only help to foster a negative outcome – don’t put your hard work to waste!

Safety Last: There is no point renovating if you can’t enjoy the finished product! Not taking proper precautions when working in an active construction site puts you at much larger risk of serious injury. If there is one thing to remember, it is putting your safety first!

Be Lazy: There is no room for laziness on a reno site! Cutting corners for easier options, rushing through your plans and working in a debris filled space will not give you the results you need. Being lazy when renovating will ultimately impact the quality of your work and jeopardise the finished result.
