When some people move into a fixer-upper home, they may intend to work on the property over the course of many months. However, you may be moving into a fixer-upper and want to get started with improving the entire property immediately. This means that you will likely be spending a decent amount of time getting rid of worn-down things that need to be replaced.
Also, if the property owners leave behind anything that you do not want to keep, you may need to get rid of a lot of building supplies and items. An excellent way to avoid an overflowing garbage bin for the first few months is to rent a dumpster and keep it in the driveway.
Exterior
One area where you may need to do a lot of cleaning up is with the exterior part of the property. Some basic things may include getting rid of plants that you do not find attractive or that are difficult to keep alive. If you are willing to take on some larger projects such as repaving a patio or pool deck, you will appreciate having a large dumpster to dispose of all the paving material.
This is when you will want to make sure the dumpster is situated in the driveway in a way that makes it easy to access from the backyard. In an ideal situation, you should not have to put a lot of effort into just getting everything that you want to throw away into the dumpster itself.
Interior
Once you start working on the inside, you will find that there are plenty of opportunities for filling up the dumpster. If you want to work on the kitchen, you can break down the countertop or cabinets into pieces and put everything into the dumpster. Even the hardware, flooring, and backsplash can go into a dumpster if you are interested in replacing these features right away.
Supplies
When you take ownership of the property, you may find that the previous owners left behind paint and building supplies that match the features around the house. Since you intend on changing so much with the home, you may not have much use for these supplies. An easy solution is to put everything in the garage where you can toss everything in the dumpster when it arrives.
After buying a fixer-upper and moving in with the intention to get started working right away, you cannot go wrong with a dumpster rental.

Growing up, I was extremely close to my family. In fact, I lived with my parents and my sister until I married my husband eleven years ago. Unfortunately, I moved seventy-five long miles away from my family after my wedding. But I still visit my childhood home at least once each month. Our growing family also still celebrates all of the major holidays including Easter. Because my husband and I plan to start a family soon, we hope to begin hosting more family gatherings at our home. When this takes happens, I know I will need help cleaning my house. On this blog, I hope you will discover how hiring cleaning services can help you plan a stress-free Easter celebration.
