A hotel can be an excellent investment, it’s a business that is continuously in demand regardless of economic conditions. Like death and taxes, people will always need somewhere to sleep. You may have come into possession of a hotel through an auction or inheritance, but it requires a lot of work. The entire structure needs renovation, and you are planning on expanding it with new construction. All of that is going to produce a large amount of waste. The good news is we at Dumpstermaxx can help you get the right dumpsters for your project. Let’s take a look at how you can deal with debris and garbage from the hotel before you begin your remodeling project.
Inspection of the interior, exterior, and grounds of the hotel are required before any restoration or remodeling can begin. You need to know exactly what will be thrown out and what, if anything, can be salvaged. Once you have assessed how much trash is going to be produced, call us at Dumpstermaxx, and we will deliver roll off dumpsters to your location so you can get to work.
If you purchased the hotel for a low price even though it is in a prime location, or the relative you inherited it from was a lazy owner, then it is likely there is an insect problem. If the hotel is infested with bed bugs or roaches, not much can be salvaged. The easiest way to find this out is to check hotel reviews online. If there was a problem with insects, you could be sure that former guests complained about it. If there are no complaints online about insects, you are still not out of the woods. You need to inspect mattresses,, and even furniture in the room for signs of bed bugs. Some indications of bedbugs are blood stains on mattresses from customers who were bit by the tiny pests. There could be rust colored bug excrement on mattresses, furniture, walls, curtains, and carpet. A dank order can also be produced by bedbugs, so how the room smells is important. Roaches leave many of these signs but are less likely to hide than bedbugs. If you have a significant infestation of either, everything must go into the dumpsters. Make sure to wear gloves and safety goggles when clearing out the hotel rooms. Mattresses take up a lot of space in a dumpster, so you may require additional units.
Furniture should be taken apart to allow more to fit in the dumpsters. Curtains and carpet should be removed because of the likelihood of bugs, and their eggs are hiding in them. That silver and black metallic wallpaper may have looked cool in the mid-seventies, but more insects could be hiding behind it, the wallpaper must be thrown away. Taking it down can be tricky, and if you or your employees aren’t experienced, then your walls could end up with gashes. Contact a professional who can remove the wallpaper safely, if needed. After you have cleared the interior of the hotel, it is vital an exterminator experienced in getting rid of bed bugs and roaches be contracted. It will require tenting or significant spraying of insecticide to kill all the insects in the hotel.
The outside of your hotel is just as important. Check the roof for loose shingles that need to be removed and replaced, leaks can cause mold in the walls and ceiling of your hotel. Contact a handyman or roof contractor to repair the affected areas. Sometimes old roof coating cans and tools are left behind on the roof, make sure to remove these as they could prove hazardous in the future. Check hotel grounds for broken glass, rusty old nails or screws, and any other potentially dangerous debris that needs to be removed.
Completing a hotel clean out can be a tricky process, but follow these steps, and you are well on your way to a revitalized business. After you have finished your clean out, you will need to have dumpsters for waste from your construction and remolding projects.
