How Trailer Rentals Can Help During Home Renovation Projects

Home renovation is a process that, at the very least, requires selecting the right materials, and getting the right workers, and in that order. However, logistics is the aspect frequently overlooked, even though it can deplete both the budget and the nerves. But there is a solution to your problem today – trailer rental – and you are not reliant on any other services and in the end, you save money. Having your own trailer for the duration of the work gives you the freedom to move around, control the time and be able to bring materials in or take out trash whenever you want. The trailer rental Calgary services make the renovation to be profitable in terms of money, time, and stress relievers at the same time.

The Logistics of a Successful Home Reno

When the renovation gets to the point where logistics have to be taken into consideration, it is then that logistics starts to have a dominating effect on the whole project. Delivery from hardware stores such as Home Depot or RONA is not always predictable in terms of time, in addition to that, each trip costs an average of $ 80-150, and especially if large or heavy materials are involved. It will not take long for several such deliveries to accrue a significant amount of money that will be one of the items in the repair budget, and if you need to return the goods and order them again, it will be even pricier.

Car trailer rental releases you from this dependency and restores control to you:

You can determine the times and the quantities of materials to be collected, no waiting and no scheduling interruptions. This is very critical in the phases where a hold-up of just a few hours can cause the workers to be idle.
The trailer makes it possible for you to conduct multiple trips in a day and to quickly adapt to changes in the course of the repair.
With trailer rental Calgary, you simply pay a flat fee and do not count each trip separately.

Apart from materials, the trailer is handy for the regular removal of garbage, keeping the workplace clean and the flow of work uninterrupted.

Efficient Debris and Waste Removal

Debris from renovation works can be a real nuisance and a problem at the same time because they are widely considered to be the leftovers, but not the ones that you want to have around for the whole renovation period. Dismantling of walls, removal of windows and doors, floorings along with the normal packing quickly occupy spaces and make it difficult to carry on. The presence of disorder at the site decelerates the workflow process and raises the number of accidents among the workers. Not to mention regular trash bags, which cannot hold such volume, and regular disposal service, which is costly, works on a pre-set schedule, and not on demand.

This is where dump trailer rental comes into play – you can get rid of the garbage right away without having to wait for it to accumulate. You disassemble – load right away – and make room for the next step.

It is very easy to load the trailer with different kinds of waste, such as:

construction debris and material,
used doors, windows, and sanitary fittings,
drywall, wood, and packaging.

It is always better to keep the site clean if you are doing the cleaning yourself, which in turn affects the speed, safety, and quality of the renovation work. You can keep the trash for a few days, fill the whole trailer, and then take it out anytime – very handy!

Cost-Effective Transport of Raw Materials

It is common for people to plan their expenses for materials but transportation costs are considered only when the renovation has already begun. And that’s where the budget starts to sneak in. Deliveries from stores look like an easy option if you don’t take into account each trip separately. The price is determined by the weight, volume, and distance, and each trip is charged. During the renovation, however, materials have to be re-ordered at least once — wood, drywall, tiles, and plumbing fixtures, windows, or doors. This leads to delivery charges mounting up in no time and going beyond the original budget.

To this, not only wide time windows that have to be adjusted, but also working time lost through the delays. At times, the supply chain can be so sporadic, that no planned work can be done, and the crew just sits idly waiting for their next task.

With a Calgary trailer rental, you can manage delivery on your own:

Get your materials and transport them to the job site as fast as possible, without having to wait for anyone.
With the trailer, you are able to inspect the goods on-site before the loading takes place.
It also becomes much easier to get the promotions or discounts that come with quick pick-up.

Thus, transport ceases to be a major issue in terms of costs and instead is viewed as a means of saving money during renovations.

Safeguarding Your Private Vehicle from Harmful Effects

Then, why not a trailer when you have a car or a neighbor’s truck? The craving to cut costs is a clear and serious temptation for many people who are already struggling to control their project budgets. However, in reality, this often means that extra expenses for car repairing or even worse, getting people to hate you for asking for their pickup truck and returning it damaged, occur.

Passenger cars are not the right place for building materials, they have not designed them that way. Passenger cars have sharp edges, they create dust, and sand, and the weight is also heavy which can easily spoil the passenger area and luggage. No matter how thick a protective film you apply it does not protect from scratching, soiling, and making smells locker room like.
Cement bags or tiles put a lot of strain on the suspension and tires.
Small debris finds its way into the interior and requires expensive professional cleaning.
The trailer was built for such conditions right from the start and can easily handle dirt, dust, and weight. If something spills or falls out in the truck, it will be easier to clean it up.

The car repair is done, the trailer is returned, the car is clean and still in one piece—you can then go to celebrate the success of your project.

Choosing the Right Trailer Size for Your Project

Now let’s get to the most important thing: deciding about the trailer based on the volume of material, the type of cargo and the frequency of trips. A trailer that is too small will necessitate many trips while a trailer that is too big will be hard to manage and will cost more to rent.

Hetman Rental has a comprehensive range of models to suit every need.

For minor works, such as bathroom or kitchen renovations, compact trailers with a length of 1.5 m will be efficient. They can be easily moved in the city and can carry the tiles, plumbing, kitchen appliances, and small materials.
Medium-sized Flatbed Trailers with open platforms provide the most convenient way to move wooden beams, drywall, and insulation rolls.
When it is necessary to place a big order all at once and care for the transportation of many materials to a far-off location in one go, then a large trailer with a length of 3 m will come in handy.

Beyond the initial choice, more technical features should be taken into account:

The closed trailers leave no chance for the worthiest equipment and most sensitive materials to get damaged by moisture, theft or bad weather.
The car transporters might be used for heavy or special equipment too.
Folding sides allow the loading of concrete mixers, generators and compressors without extra ramps, thus simplifying the process.
Besides, built-in ramps make it easier to move wheeled equipment and wheelbarrows, while tarpaulins guard the cargo against the night.

The professionals at Hetman Rental that have been working for a long time will give you advice on the most suitable trailer; and if you want, you can send it back and be given another one that is more compatible with the situation during the rental time. Maximize the use of the equipment in a wise and economical way in order to make the repair process easier and faster.
