It depends on the scope:

We’re doing phased construction
You should NOT stay if:
It’s a full-home renovation
Kitchen and bathrooms are being remodeled
Floors are being replaced
There’s heavy dust, demo, or wall removal
Most Palm Springs + Palm Desert clients choose to stay elsewhere temporarily, especially during flooring and bathroom phases.
Mystic Sand will advise you honestly based on your project.

We guide you through the process, but the contractor or architect pulls the permits, depending on the type of work.
We collaborate closely to ensure the design is executed exactly as planned.

Both options:
You can bring your own contractor
OR we can introduce our trusted partners in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, and the High Desert
In all cases, they follow Mystic Sand’s design direction and specifications.

We manage the design direction, contractor coordination, materials, and aesthetics, but we are not the general contractor.
We keep the project aligned with the design vision and ensure your chosen trades deliver quality work.
