Getting Dirty

Before you can enjoy your dream kitchen, master suite, or comfy den, we have to roll up our sleeves and make some dust.  As a professional remodeler; this part can be fun, but it's just a rough road toward a desirable end.   In order to have those attractive updated cabinets, paints and flooring materials, you need to be ready for the rough stages of construction.

When it comes to demolition there are tools of the trade.  You will see more than a hammer and broom to do a demolition job.

Here is a list of tools and supplies that you will see as your home is being remodeled.

* Nail puller
* Claw hammer
* 1-lb. sledgehammer
* Crowbar
* Steel chisel
* Utility Knife
* Reciprocating saw with metal and wood blades
* Screwdriver or screw gun
* Dustpan and brush
* Heavy-duty vacuum

The smaller tools are used to remove trim that will be reused.  A steel chisel, utility knife, and drywall saw to take out sections of drywall.  The crowbar, sledgehammer, and reciprocating saw will make quick work of clearing away framing.  A powerful shop vacuum will soon make itself apparent.

Many cities have a recycling center for construction and demolition debris.  Remodeling can generate a lot of it:  A typical kitchen or bathroom remodel can create as much debris as a household puts out for curbside recycling in four years.  Sharp Remodeling Specialties will take care of the removal of all unused construction materials and demolition debris.

Remodeling Jargon - GUTTING, means removing the wall finish to expose the framing.  This step makes it easier to run new wires and pipes.  The removal of wall coverings will only be done where it is necessary.

When you hire Sharp Remodeling Specialties, you will find the standard is set high because we are  detailed professional remodelers.   As your home is being remodeled, the demolition will be done for you and clean up is a daily activity so your family can move freely and safely around your home each evening and weekend.
