Will I have to move out while the work is being done?

The ultimate answer to that question lies with your remodeler. He knows best what work needs to be done on your home and how that work might be done.

Some criteria remodelers use in order to recommend relocation include: scope of work (how much of the house is affected) type of work (work that causes potentially dangerous situations for non-construction personnel, or may be hazardous without proper equipment) the time of year (will you be without heat for a prolonged period in the winter) and the flexibility of the owner (will your schedule permit relocating).

If you do remain in the home while the work is being performed, be prepared for some new adventures in living! (It’s not unheard of to store microwaves or refrigerators in bedrooms. Many bathrooms also become temporary kitchenettes).

Ask you remodeler to help you set up areas in parts of the house you will live. Expect at the very least to move out of the area of the house where the work is being done.
