        "text": "Before your remodeling project starts, it's helpful to declutter the work area by removing furniture, personal items, and valuables from the construction zone and surrounding pathways. Protect adjacent areas with drop cloths or plastic sheeting, especially if dust is a concern. Discuss with your contractor where utilities might be temporarily disconnected or accessed. Also, make arrangements for pets and children to ensure their safety and minimize disruption. A clear space helps the crew work efficiently and keeps your belongings safe.",
