While remodeling part or all of a home, several safety precautions should be taken. Motion sensors and alarms can help prevent theft when parts of the home are unsecured. Separate gates should be designated for workers and residents to avoid disturbances. Dust control equipment and enclosing work areas can help prevent dust from spreading. Tools should be stored securely away from areas accessible to children. Wiring should be carefully maintained to avoid electrical issues in areas still in use.
