Do I Need to Move Out While My Shower Is Being Installed?

A new shower will elevate the look and feel of your bathroom. It can also make your daily routine more pleasant and safer. When replacing a shower, it isn’t uncommon for homeowners to ask if they should vacate their homes during construction. If you have the same concern, here are tips to help you make a more informed decision.

What’s Your Project’s Duration?

The duration of shower replacement depends on several factors, including the size and type of shower that will be installed and the condition of the bathroom. A standard shower installation might take a few days to weeks. You can expect to have limited access to your bathroom during this time. It can significantly disrupt your family’s daily routine, especially if you only have a single bathroom at home. 

Do You Have Space for a Temporary Shower?

You have several options for managing your bathroom needs during your shower installation project. One is to set up a temporary shower in another area of your home, like your basement. You can take a shower at the gym or kindly ask a neighbor. Planning these arrangements can help ease the inconvenience of not having access to the shower.

Do You Have Pets or Kids?

Home improvements, such as bathroom remodeling or shower replacement, can involve a lot of noise and mess. Aside from disrupting your routine, it can be stressful and dangerous for your pets and kids. Dogs and cats might not be too happy with having strangers at home. Meanwhile, it’s unsafe for kids, especially young children, to be near construction sites.
