FAQs
-
Yes, dust can get everywhere, but I use air scrubbers with HEPA filters to exhaust demolition dust. I also hang plastic over door ways and personal belongings as well as cover your floors with construction paper/cardboard, tarps and drop clothes.

-
It is always a good idea to seal grout and natural stone, however, many modern grouts have sealer added-in during the manufacturing process.
-
Typically, no. But I will give you advice which will assist you in your search. If you need help deciding on the style, color, sizes and patterns, it’s recommended you hire an interior designer.
