Because the kitchen is arguably the most-used room in a house, this is a valid concern. You can definitely still live in your home throughout the construction process of a kitchen remodel, but you may be more comfortable staying somewhere else briefly, if the option is available to you. Charleene’s Houses goes the extra mile to protect your home from the dust and debris created by the renovation. They install plastic walls with heavy-duty zip-entrances to the work area so that you can continue to utilize the rest of your home during the renovation. If you do decide to live in your home throughout the process, keep in mind that most of your kitchen won’t be functional during the construction phase of the project. You’ll want to plan to set up a temporary kitchen in your basement, laundry, garage or some other place that you can have access to water and plug in a microwave at a minimum. Many folks request that the existing refrigerator be rolled into the garage for food storage during the renovation.
