Exterior work
Some repair methods are performed largely from the exterior, which may allow occupants to remain home depending on project conditions.
Interior access
Interior breakouts, flooring removal, plumbing work, or structural access can make parts of the house temporarily unusable.
Noise and disruption
Excavation, lifting, equipment, and repair activity can be noisy and disruptive even when occupancy is permitted.
Ask before work begins
Confirm access restrictions, utilities, pets, children, parking, and any safety instructions with the contractor before the project starts.
