It very much depends on the type of  the  project, layout of the house,  and area under renovation.

For instance, if we are sanding the whole main floor but you have a place in the basement set up, you can sleep in the house, but you will not be able to cook upstairs as the stove and the fridge would need to be disconnected.  At the same time, if prefinished  hardwood floors are being installed, the installation can be planned in a manner when the most important areas are done first to allow access. Please make sure that  you tell us about your conditions and requirements during the estimate so we can tailor the schedule of the project to your needs.
