Installing
new floors is a construction project, so be prepared for some noise
and strong odors during the process. Make sure your pets and small
children are attended to and are in a safe place away from the work
area. If there are those that have respiratory considerations or are
sensitive to dust and other allergens, it is recommended that they
avoid the construction area all together until work and cleanup is
completed.
The
installation area must be completely enclosed with all doors and
windows in place. It is also preferred that heating and
air-conditioning is fully operational for at least 24 hours before
flooring installation.
All
wet construction processes such as paint, drywall or plaster should
be completed well before installation.
Electricity
is available for tools and equipment that may be necessary.
Special
arrangements need to be made to move dishwashers, refrigerators,
freezers, washers/dryers, stoves, other major appliances or large
equipment. If FlooringMaster installers perform appliance moving
services they will reconnect water lines, but cannot be held
responsible should leaks occur or for the operation of the
appliance. Any gas appliance with a shutoff valve can be
disconnected and moved/replaced but installers are prohibited from
reconnecting the gas line.
Ensure
that all electronics, grandfather clocks, pool tables or antiques
and other large items are moved to a safe place. These items can be
moved with prior arrangements with FlooringMaster
Installers
may remove interior doors during the installation and will re-hang
them if possible. It is your responsibility to trim doors and
re-hang if re-sizing is necessary.
Secure
all personal items and valuables.
Clear
the tops of all dressers, desks, chests or other furniture items of
all objects and items. Make sure shelves, hutches, and bookcases are
emptied and glass shelves are removed.
Completely
drain waterbeds.
Empty
aquariums and prepare to be moved.
Disassemble
all electronics including all TV's, computers, sound systems and
other electronic devices.
Identify
any hidden wiring for electronics or security systems and relay that
information to the installation crew or your sales associate in
advance.
If
existing carpet is saturated from pet urine or other objectionable
materials or contains insect infestation, the customer will be
responsible for flooring removal or may be subject to additional
fees.
Please
understand that painted base boards, woodwork and painted areas may
need retouching after the installation is complete and is solely the
customer's responsibility.
