Storage During Home Renovation
While renovation can ultimately improve your home’s look and function, the process can also cause significant household disruption. In turn, the disruption produced by a home renovation can put your valuable furniture pieces at risk of unintended collateral damage. For instance, if the renovation process calls for removal of walls, ceilings or roofing, the temporary loss of weather protection may expose your furniture to damage from precipitation or UV rays. Other possible problems include the sawdust and concrete dust produced during renovations, paint used during the latter stages of your project, and structural furniture damage accidentally caused by contractors working in your home.
In some cases, you may be able to partially reduce the risk to your furniture by covering it up or moving it to other areas of your house. However, in many instances, these are simply not practical solutions. For example, even covered furniture in a renovation work area may be at risk for substantial cosmetic or structural damage. In addition, furniture in a renovation zone may cause significant clutter and limit efficient access to the workspace. The same clutter-related problems may restrict access to other parts of your home if you move your furniture to other rooms for the duration of your home improvement project.
Storage After a Disaster
