There is a good amount of misinformation out there, about Covid-19 and how to handle it when renovating your home. While it seems like Covid-19 is here to stay, you can still safely get you home renovated by following some simple Covid-19 Renovation Guidelines on your next project.

One of the best ways to safely remodel is to limit physical contact with your contractors. When you use Construction Conductor, that’s a no-brainer during Planning and Bidding because we show you how to  you through the process.
