3. Beef up home security. Having lots of people in and out of your home leaves it more vulnerable to theft — not necessarily from your own team, but from opportunists who notice there is work going on at your house.
Consider adding a programmable lock to your front door that allows you to give your reno team access to your home during the work; and reprogram the lock when the work is done. Some smart-phone-controlled locks on the market now allow you to monitor who is in your house and when.
You can also move any highly valuable small items offsite to a safety deposit box or locked cabinet. And if you have a home security system, use it.
