Dreaming of a kitchen refresh or a master bath makeover or even a complete rhome renovation? If you live in Sarasota or Manatee County, you're not alone. The Florida sunshine and beautiful beaches continue to attract residents, and with more people and tight home inventory comes a constant demand for home renovations. More often than not, buyers are purchasing current inventory and planning complete renovations to obtain their piece of paradise in our beautiful area. But before you dive into demolition, let's explore the forecast for renovation rates in 2024 and a key element to ensure a smooth project: renting a roll-off dumpster.
Renovation Rate Forecast for Sarasota & Manatee
While there isn't a crystal ball for renovation costs, experts predict a leveling off in 2024. The rapid price hikes of recent years are expected to stabilize. However, some factors could influence your project's final cost:
Material Prices: Lumber and other building materials may see a slight decrease after significant increases. As we all know, inflation has affected every aspect of our lives and building materials are no different.
Labor Costs: Skilled labor remains in high demand, so anticipate steady contractor rates. There is a shortage of skilled labor across all trades which directly affects rates charged by contractors.
Project Scope: A minor bathroom update will obviously cost less than a whole-house renovation. It is very important to find reputable contractors and often the best companies have a backlog of work booked. With that being said, don't base your decision soley on price, take the time to know that your contractor shares your vision and they are reputable. It may mean waiting a little longer to complete your project, but once the project is completed, you will be much happier with the outcome!
The Importance of Renting a Roll-Off Dumpster
Regardless of project size, one thing is certain: renovations generate a lot of waste! Here's where a roll-off dumpster becomes your renovation BFF:
Streamlined Waste Removal: A dumpster keeps your renovation zone organized and prevents debris from piling up in your yard or driveway or inside of your work areas.
Safety: Debris can be a tripping hazard, and a dumpster keeps everyone safe, especially with children or pets around. By having a dumpster on site, you minimize your risk of someone tripping over debris and it improves efficiency by having clear work areas
Eco-Friendly Disposal: Dumpster companies ensure proper waste disposal, diverting materials from landfills whenever possible.
Convenience: No more constant trips to the dump! A dumpster allows you to toss debris as you go, keeping your project moving! With short and long term rentals available, Patriot Dumpster LLC can save you time by handling your waste hauling and not tying your time up running back and forth to the landfill.
Choosing the Right Roll-Off Dumpster Size
Dumpster sizes come in a variety of options, so choose one that best suits your project. Here's a quick guide:
Small renovations (bathrooms, kitchens): 15 cubic yards
Larger renovations (additions, decks): 20 cubic yards
Whole-house renovations: 40+ cubic yards
Pro Tip: Consult with your contractor or dumpster rental company to determine the ideal size for your project. Give Patriot Dumpster a call at 941-278-0246 and we will be glad to help determing what is needed for your project. Many times during large scale projects Patriot Dumpster has combined different size dumpsters fr our customers to give you them the capacity they needed for larger projects.
