If you are renovating your home, you know how crazy things can feel. With all the expenses, planning, and coordinating, it is a lot to juggle. Demolition is a very exciting point in the process, but can be one of the messiest. Learning how to simplify demolition day will keep you working efficiently and help you stay on track. Here are three things you can do to prepare for demolition day:

Dumpster Rental

Renting a dumpster for garbage removal should be at the very top of your list. Tearing out cabinets, flooring, fixtures, and other materials will lead to the biggest trash day of your life. Having a dumpster rental simplifies things because you can have it dropped off and placed on your driveway. This eliminates the dump runs, potential damage to the vehicles who transport it, and less time away from the job site. These materials are heavy, sharp, and full of nails. Being able to place them in a dumpster in your driveway will make demolition day a breeze. 

Finding the Right Safety Gear and Tools

Having the right tools on hand for demolition day is crucial. Safety goggles, long pants for anyone helping, and thick work gloves can save you a lot of grief. Safety should be a top priority, then you can focus on the tools. Demolition can be long hard work and require a lot of muscle so having the right tools to assist can save you from a lot of back-breaking work. Crowbars for ripping out surfaces and cabinets, magnetic nail sweepers to collect nails, and hammer and chisel for flooring is a great place to start. If you are tearing out a variety of materials, you can do some research to see what tools are recommended.

Go Over Your Plan

Going over your plan with everyone involved is a crucial step in the demolition process. When multiple people are working in the home, you want to coordinate to make sure things are not being ripped out that shouldn't be. Getting organized can help you utilize all the workers more efficiently and get the job done quicker. It's smart to have someone supervising throughout the process just as an extra measure to ensure success and safety. 

Demolition day is exciting because it means your one step closer to the finished product. Reserve that dumpster rental and use these tips to help you navigate the process and make your game plan.
