Preparing for Construction

The Essential Prep Steps

Preparing for construction is a critical step in the timeline. Dust from demolition and installation is always a concern and we’ve listed some helpful hints to assist you during and after construction, easing the transition back to a fully functioning kitchen and home.

1. Seal off the kitchen area doorways with plastic sheeting
2. Close all vents on the same floor as the room during construction days
3. Close as many doors as possible
4. In adjoining rooms, cover furniture with blankets, and bookcases with plastic painter’s tarps
5. Take a break - plan time away from the project including dinners out
6. If possible, set up the construction area in a garage or outside covered area to eliminate the dust and noise of construction in the home's living space
