Hello Again, Chris Town, Owner Of Town Construction And Development Here With Some More Great Tips On How to Keep Your Shoreline/Edmonds Home Secure During a Remodel.
Remodeling your home is an exciting process, but it is also challenging at the same time. Even though it promises impressive results, the remodeling process often takes a lot of energy, money, and time. Apart from the quality of the remodeling services, materials, and tools, homeowners also need to worry about their household security during that time. This aspect has several levels, and we’ll discuss them in this post so you can get ready for the remodeling process and keep your home secure while the work is ongoing.
Make your security system more efficient
Home remodeling is an extra delicate time with more security risks. That’s why it’s a perfect moment to improve your security system to ensure your home is secure while strangers come into your house. Furthermore, you’ll be more relaxed knowing you can monitor your home and keep it safe at all times, resulting in a relatively stress-free remodeling process. There are several things you can do to improve the security of your property, both inside and outside:
⦁ Install cameras to monitor all the work and the time when you’re not at the property. Cameras have more benefits, as well. You can use footage you get through them as proof if any accidents or theft happen. Also, the sole existence of cameras makes the space less desirable to any potential criminal.
⦁ Motion sensors and alarms are a great way to increase security, especially if the renovation includes replacing doors and windows. They can expose anyone who tries to access your home uninvited.
⦁ Wireless security systems if your home’s electricity is affected during the remodel. This way, you’ll be able to monitor the property even if the electricity system is down – which is the riskiest time in the process.
⦁ Lights can also help with the security of the property – a well-lit home is not that attractive to burglars. However, don’t forget to light the outside of your home, and don’t leave any expensive tools outside at night. A comprehensive security system for your home is critical if you are staying elsewhere for the duration of the renovations. 
A security system with cameras can deter theft.
Control your front door lock
Home remodeling often requires strangers to come in and out of your property. This raises several security issues, so taking a few extra steps to make your home secure during a remodel is essential. Controlling your front door is one of these steps, and with today’s technology, you can reduce burglary risks to a minimum. Smart locks can give you the option for keyless entry, access to specific people with unique codes, and much more. Traditional keys are slowly being replaced with a more straightforward and secure option, so the home remodel is the perfect time to use it. You can also consider changing the locks after the remodel is finished, so you can be sure no one else has the new keys to your home.
Be careful to who you give your front door keys.
Check your fire alarms
Home remodels are very risky, and many homes experience floods, fires, and other accidents. Therefore, fire alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, and sensors that can prevent floods are beneficial for reacting quickly if an accident happens.
Fire alarms can let you react quickly if a fire occurs during the remodel.
Choose reliable contractors
As we can’t do everything by ourselves, the work of a professional is essential in every remodeling project. Choosing a skilled expert ensures good-quality work and long-term satisfaction with the results. However, to keep your home secure during a remodel, you need to make sure the team you hire is reputable and that you can trust them with your household.

However, to keep your home secure during a remodel, you need to make sure the team you hire is reputable and that you can trust them with your household. To find and hire trustworthy professionals, don’t forget to:
⦁ Look them up on the internet and check their online reviews, website, and other traces of their online presence. Professional companies make an effort to create a website with all the services listed, including useful tips, testimonials, and clear contact details.
⦁ Ask people you trust for recommendations – ask around and see if any of your friends, family, or neighbors have recently remodeled so they can recommend a contractor or warn you about who to avoid.
⦁ Check their license and insurance details – it should be easy to check these details, and if you have trouble finding such information, consider it a red flag and continue your search for a qualified contractor.

Remove all the valuables
Even after doing all the previous steps, you can’t eliminate all the security risks when remodeling your home. For that reason, it’s best to be safe than sorry – remove all the valuables from the house. You can keep them at your family’s home, or even better – get a secure storage unit for all the items. Storing your valuables elsewhere will ensure your items are safe from theft or damage, but there’s one more thing to it. If you use a storage unit to keep your items away from dust, paint, and other hazards, you’ll ensure they remain intact and ready to move back into a refreshed home. This is particularly useful if you decide to remodel your home during the winter when taking the furniture and other items outside is simply not an option.
Talk to your little ones
If your household includes children, you should protect them at all costs. Apart from taking all the steps mentioned above, your little ones should know some safety rules when the remodel time comes. Talk to them about the whole process and ensure they understand the dangers of touching tools and other items needed for work. They should also know what areas of the house to avoid to minimize the risk of injuries as much as possible.
It’s reasonably easy to keep your home secure during a remodel – just be sure to explore all the options and prepare in advance. Soon you’ll have a much nicer home and enjoy it with your loved ones!
