How messy is pulling up engineered floor glued to concrete?

We're having a very large section of our first floor hardwood pulled up. The wood is Maple 5" engineered plank glued to a concrete slab. The area to be replaced is a large foyer/hallway approx. 20' long x 9' wide and part of a kitchen. The concrete slab will then be leveled (which should have been done in the first place) and new flooring glued down. I'm very worried about the mess, specifically the dust, this work will cause. It's very hard to section off parts of the house because some of the planks to be removed will flow into other rooms, plus, the floor plan is very open with 18 ft. ceilings open to the second floor and wide archways instead of doorways. Should we cover everything including items on the second floor? Will the walls have to be cleaned afterwards? Am I overreacting?
