When you’re planning a renovation, there are many steps to take in the planning process. However, one that is often overlooked is getting your neighbours ready for the renovation! Your renovation will be disruptive to your daily life, but it will also affect your neighbours.

Smaller projects, such as bathroom refacing or simply painting your main floor, will have very little impact on anyone, including you. However, larger home renovation projects can introduce issues with parking, noise, and safety.

In this podcast, we’ll talk about some of the aspects of your renovation that may affect one or more of your neighbours.
