Best Practices of Remodelers Orland Park IL

Clean jobsites are half the battle of keeping homeowners happy. Remodelers' best practices fall into four categories:

Education: Specify who is responsible for which tasks, and monitor follow-through. Create a jobsite manual with photos of how every part of the site should look. Fine trade contractors if they don't clean.

Professionalism: Discourage use of home bathrooms; provide a porta-toilet on bigger jobs. Provide shoe covers and disposable coveralls.

Trash collection: Have multiple trash cans in predetermined places and separate recycling bins, if relevant. Allocate a trash point for all jobs. If the job is big enough for a Dumpster, discuss its location with the homeowner in advance. If using a trash pile, keep it neatly covered and remove it frequently. Daily: Pick up around the jobsite and rake the site with magnetic rakes.

Dust containment: Equip all sites with a HEPA filter shop vac and an upright vacuum cleaner. Vacuum at least daily. Remove dust and shavings from framing before enclosing. Use temporary wall products (such as ZipWall; black is preferred) or plywood barriers to keep dust and debris from other parts of the home. Consider sealing off vent returns.
