Another item that’s very important to protect is the return air filter. We put filter over the air vents to keep dust from getting up there. The more demo we do, the more frequently we change the filters.
More Protection
In this Ritz unit specifically, we’re not touching the kitchen, which was built by the developer. To protect this area, we built a wall from floor to ceiling, taping the edges to keep any dust from getting into the kitchen. There are also a lot of corners in the hallway here that can be easy to bump into. We covered these with heavy-duty cardboard corners and also the washing machine and dryer with a foam board during protection protocol.
We spent a lot of time in this condo making sure everything was protected properly. We’re going to pay that extra attention to protection protocol to not just a condo, but a residential home, even if we’re remodeling a smaller area like a powder bathroom. It’s so important to protect your home, and taking the time up front to truly protect your home helps everything run much smoother and more efficiently.
