Flooring replacement is an exciting way to refresh your home. At the same time, preparing for your flooring replacement project can make things go smoothly and efficiently. Taking a few steps before installation day arrives can help you protect your belongings, reduce stress, and help our flooring team work more effectively.

How to Prepare Your Home for Flooring Replacement

Here are our top tips for getting your home ready for flooring replacement:

  • Move furniture & belongings—We recommend removing furniture, decorations, and personal items from the areas where the new flooring will be installed. Emptying the space ahead of time can prevent accidental damage and give our installers full access to the room. You should also move smaller items, such as electronics, wall décor, and fragile belongings away from the work area.
  • Discuss project timelines—Before the flooring replacement project starts, talk to us about the project timeline and your expectations. Understanding how long the installation will take can help you plan for temporary disruptions in places like hallways, living areas, or your kitchen.
  • Keep pets and kids away from the area—For safety reasons, we ask that you keep children and pets away from the flooring installation area. The replacement process can involve tools, dust, adhesives, and materials that can create hazards.

Ask us beforehand if old flooring removal, furniture moving, or subfloor repairs will be needed during your project to avoid surprises later on. To learn more about what you need to do to get ready for the flooring replacement process, get in touch with us today.
