        "text": "In most cases, homeowners can stay in their residence, particularly when the expansion is an exterior bump-out isolated from the main living quarters. Contractors typically seal off interior access doors with temporary plastic barriers to control dust and drafts until framing and drywall installation are complete. However, you should expect noise during excavation, framing, and roof tie-in work. If the project involves tying into an active kitchen or shared primary bathroom, making temporary household adjustments helps manage the disruption.",
