Can I stay in the house during refinishing?
Yes, with caveats. The sanding is done with dust-contained sanders, but it is not zero dust. The finish coats need 24-hour cure between applications, and you cannot walk on it during that window. Most clients move out for two to three nights, or use other rooms and stay off the floor for cure time.
