Helpful Tips On Keeping Your Pets
Comfortable During Your Maple
Grove Whole Home Remodel

Making Your Four-Legged Friends
Feel At Home While Remodeling

Our four-legged friends endure a lot with us. But when it comes to whole-home remodeling for your Maple Grove home, the stress of the process may prove too challenging for them to handle.

It’s important to consider the safety and well-being of your pets when considering a whole home remodel. Not only will the house be turned upside down, but there will also be a lot of noise. Strangers – at least to your pets – will be present in your home almost daily.

When you consider all these factors from your pets’ perspectives, it can be easy to see why whole home remodeling will be so difficult for them.

The good news is that you can take some steps to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible during this period. Some tips include keeping them active, taking them to fun, familiar places during the day whenever possible, and introducing them to the people who will be inside your home during remodeling.

Keep your pets comfortable with our top tips from Executive Remodeling.

The Importance Of Keeping Your Pets Comfortable
During Your Whole Home Remodel

Unlike us, your pets don’t understand what’s going on during whole home remodeling. To them, strangers constantly coming and going turn their world upside down.

Remodeling is a stressful situation that can cause your pets a lot of distress, making them susceptible to illness and destructive habits such as chewing.

Ensuring your pet’s comfort during remodeling will help you and your pet have a pleasant experience that will be that much better once remodeling is complete!

Tip 1: Introduce Your Pets To Your Remodeling Team
At The Start Of Your Whole Home Remodel

No one wants strange people coming in and out of their home – least of all, their pets! While you, as the homeowner, know and trust your contractors, your pets don’t. That’s why it’s so important to introduce your pets to anyone who will be in your home during remodeling.

Pets feel more comfortable when they can see – and sniff – those coming in and out of their homes. Introduce your pets at the beginning of the remodel, before the work and the noise begin. That way, they’ll feel more at ease.

Tip 2: Consider Crating Your Pet During The Workday

Your pet’s safety must be a top priority during your home remodel. With workers coming in and out, it’s easy for your pet to slip through an open door.

Crating your pet during the remodeling work will keep your pet safe and calm in its own space.

While your pet might not like being in a crate during remodeling (with so much action and new people to see, who would?), your pet’s safety needs to be paramount.

Tip 3: Introduce And Rotate New Toys And
Treats During Whole Home Remodeling

We don’t know of a pet that doesn’t get excited at seeing a new toy or treat. Since remodeling is stressful, spoil them a little by purchasing special toys and treats.

Make sure to rotate the toys and treats each day so your pet doesn’t get bored with playing with the same thing.

Tip 4: Get Outside During Your Whole Home Remodel

When possible, take your pet outside and away from the construction site during remodeling work. Being in a crate all day is not fun for your pet nor ideal for their well-being.

Take your pet to places they love, like the park, a long walk around town, or the home of a trusted friend or family member. Doing so will keep your pet distracted from remodeling work and help them burn energy so they sleep better and are better rested in the evening.

Tip 5: Hire A Pet Sitter Or Opt For Pet Daycare
During Whole Home Remodeling

If your work schedule makes it challenging to take your pet out during the day when remodeling work is going on, consider opting for pet daycare or a pet sitter to keep your pet active and entertained during the day.

There are many trusted websites where you can find reputable pet sitters in your area. Pet daycares are also available, where you can drop your pet off so your pet can have an active day of fun during remodeling.

We used Executive Remodeling to finish our basement. As first time homeowners with no construction experience, we could not have asked for an easier process. Workmanship was incredible, everything ran on time, communication was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end product. We would recommend them to anyone, and already have! We will definitely use them for any future projects that come up. Thanks so much to Ryan, Reed, and Katie!

'I can't recommend Executive Remodeling highly enough! From start to finish, they were responsive, communicative, and very easy to work with. They built a bathroom addition for us and stayed on budget and timeline throughout the entire project. All the people they brought in to work on the project were also kind, competent, and efficient. The team at Executive Remodeling went out of their way to ensure that everything went smoothly and the project turned out great!'

'We recently needed some work done on our home and used Executive Remodeling. The communication and suggestions concerning our project were clear and very helpful. The workmen respected our home, were professional, left the worksite clean, and, when on-site, accommodated our need to be in and out of our home. The project was completed on time, and the costs were exactly as quoted.'

After meeting with several Twin Cities contractors to find the right fit for our dream home addition, we chose Executive Remodeling because we valued their honesty, experience, and straightforward approach to planning and project execution. The team was easy to work with and responsive. We were treated with honesty and integrity and got an incredible amount of value for our investment. We couldn't be happier with the results.

Excellent. Prompt and great workmanship. Very little disruption to our routine, and they cleaned up professionally. Handled the dealings with the insurance company as repair was caused by hail damage. This made the whole process easy. They also brought all the samples to our house for selection which was very efficient for us. Highly recommend Executive Remodeling.

1. This was our first big renovation. We weren't prepared for some of the decisions we needed to make before the project started. 2. Guidelines for what was expected of us before the project began wasn't clear, such as selection of: backsplash, lighting , tiles etc. 3. Once the project began, Executive Remodeling gave us a clear timeline with weekly updates. 4. Executive Remodeling staff was very courteous and respectful as were their contractors. 5. They informed us of what they were going to do with construction details i.e. - poly barriers, dust, etc. 6. They also had an excellent cleaning crew who did more than we expected. 7. We are extremely satisfied with the kitchen renovation and we will definitely have them involved in our other renovations.

We emptied out the basement for drain tile then re-installed what was taken out to preserve the investment in our nearly 100-year-old house. Executive’s team was supportive every step of the way. Their optimism and 'can do' attitude were helpful as we discovered complications. They got the right craftsmen for every step. We even added a new garden window to the kitchen upstairs, knowing we could trust them to do a great install. We sleep well knowing our wiring is up to code, and we enjoy a great deal of natural light in the basement because of their work.

Our experience with Executive Remodeling was excellent from Day One! We had our entire basement done, and they were great at helping put together our ideas with what was doable, staying within budget, and turning out a beautiful finished product. All of the trades that came were professional, courteous, cleaned up well after themselves, and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be more pleased and heartily recommend them!
