Before Installation Day: How to Prepare Your Home
Helping your installers hit the ground running is all about clearing the way, literally and figuratively. Here’s how you can set yourself and your space up for success:
- Clear countertops and nearby surfaces: Remove small appliances, decor, and personal items.
- Protect your floors and furniture: Move rugs and cover high-traffic walkways near the kitchen.
- Create easy access: Arrange parking if needed and keep pathways clear for the installation crew and their equipment.
- Share special instructions: If you have pets, unique schedules, or design notes, let your project manager know in advance.
- Compile your questions and ideas: Jot down anything you’d like to discuss with your installer when they arrive.
