How to Keep Your Home Clean & Dust-Free During a Remodel
Jesus Valenzuela • February 27, 2025
Introduction
A home remodel is exciting, but the dust and mess that come with it? Not so much. From drywall sanding to wood cutting, remodeling can create a constant layer of dust that spreads throughout your home, affecting air quality, cleanliness, and even your health.
The good news? With the right precautions, you can minimize dust and keep your space as clean as possible.
The Problem: Remodeling Dust Gets Everywhere
🔹 Dust travels—no matter how small the project, it finds its way into vents, furniture, and even rooms that aren’t under construction.
🔹 It can impact air quality, triggering allergies or respiratory issues.
🔹 Constant cleaning can become frustrating, adding stress to the remodel process.
The Solution: Containing the Mess
1️⃣ Seal Off the Work Area
Installing plastic barriers, zip walls, and door seals keeps dust contained. If possible, close off vents in the remodel area to prevent circulation into the rest of the home.
2️⃣ Use Air Filtration & Dust Control Systems
Professional contractors use HEPA air scrubbers and vacuums to trap fine particles before they spread. A negative air pressure system can also help suck dust out of the space instead of letting it settle.
3️⃣ Daily Cleanup Matters
A reliable contractor cleans up at the end of each workday, sweeping and vacuuming to keep debris under control. Covering furniture and sealing unused cabinets can prevent dust from settling inside.
4️⃣ Work With a Contractor Who Cares About Cleanliness
Not all remodelers prioritize dust control, but at IJM Construction, we take every step to keep your home as clean and livable as possible during renovations.
