Full renovations often arise from an urgent need to improve our living space. It’s about making your home more comfortable and turning it into a beautiful, cozy, and functional place.
However, undertaking a full renovation means facing a complicated period of decision-making, flexibility in the face of unforeseen events, and a good dose of patience.
There are 3 important decisions to consider before starting this process:
- Think about where you will live during the renovation period.
- Decide which furniture and items we will store in a storage facility until the renovation is complete.
- Get rid of things we don’t use, don’t need, or won’t fit well in the new home.
According to Mar Serrano, director and owner of Mudanzas Diagonal, “the period before a full renovation is ideal for choosing which furniture, objects, and memories we want to keep in our new home. It is essential to get rid of things that are no longer necessary in our daily lives and only keep what brings us joy or well-being.”
In most cases, we will need a storage space. It is advisable to remove items from the home being renovated, even if it’s just a single room like the kitchen or bathroom, to prevent damage and avoid everything getting covered in dust.
This period can last for weeks or even months.
The best advice is to contact a moving company that can protect, pack, pick up, and store your belongings for as long as necessary.
These are the services they can offer you:
- Disassembly and protection of furniture with bubble wrap.
- Packing of fragile items, dinnerware, decorations, clothing, etc., into boxes.
- Detailed inventory of what will be transported to the storage facility.
- Storage cost according to the actual volume of the move.
- Apartment clear-out. Transport of items for disposal to a recycling center.
