Removing Furniture During a Remodel

When Your Home Remodeler Offers to Store Your Furniture

If your full service general contractor or remodeling contractor offers to relocate your furniture to temporary storage while they complete the home improvement, this service can save you a lot of stress and hassle. But there are a few questions to ask before they take away your possessions: 

• What experience do you have in furniture removal and storage? 
• Do you offer proper protection for furniture while moving and storing? 
• Are there any additional fees associated with this service? 
• Will you also coordinate the replacement of the furniture within 24 hours after the construction is completed? 
• What kind of coverage do you offer for loss or damages during transportation and storage?

Temporary Storage Options During a Remodel

If you are preparing to remodel your home, you may need to find temporary storage options for furniture and other items. Here are a few tips for finding the best option for temporary storage during a remodel, even when you don’t know exactly how long you will need storage: 

• Look for local storage facilities that offer short-term rentals or flexible payment plans. 
• Consider renting out a single room in someone’s home that has enough space to store all of your belongings until the project is complete. 
• Truck rental companies and professional movers rent out their warehouse facilities as storage units; they will pick up your furniture and load it into crates, then deliver once your remodel is complete
• Check with container vendors who will deliver a storage container to your driveway. You will need to move the furniture into the container and wrap it to secure it from damage and pests.
