Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

The most common alternative is burning the stump first, then dealing with the cinders and ashes. As you can imagine, this option creates fire hazards, especially since roots can burn underground, hidden, for long afterward. That’s why many states and cities have outlawed the use of stump burning entirely. We do not recommend this option as a viable alternative unless you get a permit from the local fire department and practice all safe burning procedures.

Others prefer a more long-term DIY approach of degrading the stump with home mixtures like Epsom salt and vinegar injected directly into it. This may help the stump decay faster, allowing homeowners to dig it out themselves, but it’s still a lengthy process. It usually takes months for a stump to start falling apart with such treatments, and in the meantime, it can be vulnerable to rot, insects, and other problems.

Homes can collapse from water damage, especially after a flood or when the water creates structural instability. If water isn’t removed right away, moisture can cause walls and ceilings to warp, degrade, and shift, increasing the possibility of collapse. You should always have a structural engineer evaluate any property and building that has experienced a flood, as problems may not be visible from the outside. Until you get the all clear, stay out of homes that have sustained water damage or been involved in a flood event.

Renovating an existing kitchen is usually cheaper than tearing one down and replacing it. For example, you can make big savings by refacing or refinishing kitchen cabinets that are still structurally sound. However, if the kitchen materials are old and in a state of disrepair or your kitchen layout isn’t practical, tearing out the old one is likely a more practical long-term investment.
