• Assure easy access to the room(s) for the workers by clearing a path, so they can bring in their equipment and bring out debris.
• In the rooms that are adjacent to where the work is being done, cover furniture as well as floors – especially along the workers’ path.
• Remove all items from nearby closets, bookcases, entertainment centers, cabinets, and other similar storage to make it easier to clean up afterward.
• Relocate all breakables, such as valuables, antiques, wall hangings, mirrors, vases, and lamps from rooms affected by the renovation.
• Disconnect and move computers, stereos, televisions, and other electronic devices.
• Extension cords should be removed as well. Check for them along door casings, baseboards, and under carpets.
• All furniture in the room that will get the installation will need to be temporarily placed elsewhere. You can move them to other areas of the house or rent temporary storage.
• Ensure you are on the premises. Should an issue arise, someone may need to make a decision and direct the installers.
• Rooms that are designated to be redone should have the temperature set between 60°– 80°F.
• Children and pets need to be kept away from the work area.
