@godder said in Temporary moves for house renovations:
@snowy will be a mix of carpet and vinyl/lino.
Reason for emptying the house was to avoid the pain of having to move it all around two or three times or paying them to do it badly. The kitchen has to have all appliances out including the dishwasher and oven for the flooring.
Order will be paint then carpet.
We have a garage, so we can use that, but not sure about insurance. We asked AMI, and they weren't very useful.
See @taniwharugby above re insurance stuff.
The reason I asked about the hard flooring or vinyl was partly the prep and yes they have to move everything. Depending on the condition of the subfloor they may want to feather, or even have to grind / sand a bit. It can be a bit messy. If you have soft furnishings around I mean.
Carpet with underlay is usually fine even if the subfloor isn't great.
Garage does sound like the best storage option. Assuming that you can make it secure.
