This module marks the transition from stressful construction to joyful creation. Before installing finishes, a thorough pre-finish cleaning is essential—not just for hygiene and mold prevention, but for claiming the space as your own. You’ll learn step-by-step how to clean your subfloor, windows, and ducts, and then dive into healthy, VOC-conscious strategies for choosing paints, flooring, baseboards, cabinetry, lighting, appliances, and more. This module is packed with cost-saving tips, product recommendations, and practical guidance for managing moisture and chemical exposure while still creating a home that reflects your style and values. From tile assemblies and IKEA kitchens to quartz countertops and low-EMR appliance selection, this lesson helps you make smart choices that support a healthy, resilient, and beautiful home.
