It’s important to remember that living at home during a remodel is no picnic—besides having workers constantly going in and out of your home, there will likely be noise and dust. If you’re thinking about remaining at home, you should ask your contractor the following questions:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>How do you plan to mitigate dust in my home? Will you put up plastic and/or use air filters?&nbsp;</li> <li>How noisy will the equipment be? Are there ways to reduce the noise?</li> <li>Where will the crew use the restroom? Will you order a portable restroom?</li> <li>Will you help me set up a temporary kitchen while my kitchen is being remodeled?</li> </ul> <p>By asking these kinds of questions ahead of time, you can make an educated choice and be prepared for living at home during your remodel.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a></p> <p><strong>Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic</strong><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/santa-clara-contractors-remodel-additions/" target="_self">Santa Clara County Remodeling Contractors</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/sonoma-contractors-remodel-additions/" target="_self">Sonoma County Remodeling Contractors</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/san-mateo-contractors-remodel-additions/" target="_self">San Mateo County Remodeling Contractors</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/alameda-contractors-remodel-additions/" target="_self">Alameda County Remodeling Contractors</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/contractor-remodeling-additions/ca/napa-county/" target="_self">Napa County Remodeling Contractors</a></p> <p><strong>Related Articles</strong><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/Home-Remodeling/" target="_self">The Homeowner's Guide to Home Remodeling</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>&nbsp;</p>
