Can you stay in your home during a second-floor addition? Sometimes, but you may need to move out for part of the build, especially while the roof is open and major structural work is underway.
Before construction starts, we walk you through which phases may require you to stay elsewhere and when it may be possible to separate the work zone from your living space. That way, you can plan around work, school and your family’s routine before demo day.
