One of the more exciting aspects of owning a house is being able to renovate it. In addition to making the space more functional and enjoyable, remodeling projects also help maintain or improve property value, making them vital to the long-term care of a home.
Popular Home Improvement Projects
Over time, all houses require some remodeling to keep them functional. Two of the most common remodeling projects are kitchens and bathrooms because they are the two most used areas of a house, and everyone in the home frequently uses them. High usage causes extensive wear to floors, fixtures, and cabinetry. For proper upkeep, these rooms should be remodeled every 10-15 years, with a complete renovation needed every 25-30 years.
Other popular home renovation projects include:
- Adding new rooms
- Installing new bathrooms and laundry rooms
- Converting attic and basement spaces into livable rooms
- Tearing down adjoining walls
- Building new closet spaces
Popular exterior projects include installing or removing patios, porches, decks, outside living spaces, roofing and siding replacements, yard cleanups, and landscaping projects.
No matter what home improvement project you want to undertake on your house, it will require a certain amount of demolition and construction. That means you will need to rent a dumpster to remove the old and excess building materials during the construction phase.
Dumpster Sizes Available for Your Project
There are a few important considerations when deciding what size dumpster to rent for your project.
10-Yard Dumpster Rentals
A 10-yard dumpster rental can usually be used for small renovation projects, such as bathroom remodeling, minor kitchen upgrades, garage cleanouts, house cleanouts, one-room projects, small exterior demolition projects, such as deck and roof replacements, and basic landscaping and yard cleanups.
20-Yard Dumpster Rentals
A 20-yard dumpster is the right size for pre-moving and medium-sized house cleanouts, kitchen renovations, and other mid-level home renovation projects like room expansions, more significant home roof replacements, siding replacement, and extensive yard clearing and cleanouts. It’s usually the right size for small storm and flooding damage restoration projects. It can readily handle bulky carpet rolls and flooring debris, sheetrock, wall demolition, and old cabinetry and countertops as well.
30-Yard Dumpster Rentals
A 30-yard dumpster is designed for multi-room construction and renovation projects. It is also the right choice for multi-task residential landscaping projects that include tasks such as yard clearing and deck removals. These dumpsters are ideal for construction projects too, such as decks, patios, and outdoor living spaces.
40-Yard Dumpster Rentals
A 40-yard dumpster is the largest size available. It is most suitable for complete home cleanouts, large home addition projects, extensive home remodeling, renovations, and restorations, and large exterior upgrades such as multi-task siding and roofing replacement projects.
