Are you ready for your home to become a construction zone during your remodeling project? If not, here are some points to review with your contractor–timeline, schedule, logistics and dust control–before you give up your peace and quiet for quite a while.
About 90 percent of homeowners stay in their homes during remodeling projects.
Some end up regretting it.
