Knowing what to do before, during, and after installation will make the entire process faster and more efficient. Preparation will also help eliminate any surprises. Our hardwood specialists at Wacky's Flooring & Lighting have compiled the following information to help you prepare for the big day. Knowing what to expect will mean less stress for you, your family, and your home. Steps to prepare for installation 1. Remove furniture Remove all furniture and other objects from the work area. Before moving, you’ll also need to empty the contents of china cabinets, closets, and so on. Also, be aware that the area of installation must be climate-controlled (heated or air conditioned). Indoor humidity should be maintained at 45 to 65 percent. 2. Address your old flooring 3. Consider your doors 4. Discuss any needed cleanup During the installation You'll need to be present during the installation to answer any questions and to guide the installation crew. Because no job is the same regarding complexity and length, it is not always possible for the team to give you an exact arrival time; however, we will update you along the way. Your installers will use a variety of tools and techniques that can make the work area hazardous. Please make sure that your children and pets are kept out of the work area on installation day. After the installation Once the installation is finished, do a complete walk-through with the installation crew. This allows you to see the finished result and ask any additional questions at this time. If you are sensitive to dust and odors, it's a good idea to establish good ventilation for up to 72 hours after the job is complete.
