Ask what the dust plan includes

Hardwood floor sanding & dust control

Sanding creates dust. Professional collection equipment and careful containment can reduce its spread, but a credible plan should explain the equipment and room preparation rather than promise an entirely dust-free home.

Discuss collection and containment

Ask how the main sander and edge tools collect dust, how adjoining spaces are separated, and what happens around vents and doorways. Clarify which preparation tasks belong to the homeowner and which belong to the flooring crew.

Ask about cleanup and access

Find out how the crew handles daily cleanup, tools, waste, and furniture. Discuss the rooms that remain occupied and how people will move through the house. An isolated work area and a realistic schedule are part of the project scope.

Pair the sanding plan with the finish plan

Dust control and finish ventilation are separate topics. Ask for the proposed finish’s instructions about ventilation, room use, pets, and return-to-use timing. The product and site conditions determine those requirements.
