We desire to make the installation of your countertop and/or floorcovering product(s) easy and enjoyable from beginning to completion. There are a few factors to take in mind and guidelines to follow that may help you through the installation process.

Color and Pattern Matching: If you have a preference for the direction of the pattern on your product, please discuss this with your sales professional before we come to install the product.

Appliances: If we are going to move them, be sure to remove items from your range and/or refrigerator.

Grout: Please understand that after a tile floor is installed, it must set for 24 hours before it can be grouted and then you need to wait another 24 hours before walking on it.

Here is a list of things to consider before our installer(s) arrives:

Be sure to verify your installation date.

Remove all "breakables" from the room.

Determine who will move furniture, appliances, and the sub-floor, if necessary.

Arrange for the disconnection of gas appliances and ice makers, if necessary.

Determine if any change to the height of the floor would require adjustments to doors in order for them to work properly.

Ensure the removal of items in storage areas and closets where the floor is to be resurfaced.

Make sure the drapes, wall hangings and pictures are removed from the room where the work is to be done.

Verify that your in-home temperature is appropriate for installation. We recommend above 70 degrees.

If applicable, be sure to manage safety or alarm systems prior to our arrival or provide the codes and instructions for our use.

Please be sure there is adequate parking and access to your property.
