Stabilize indoor conditions
Operate heating or cooling as directed so the home reflects normal living conditions.
Before the project
Prepare for hardwood installation.
A little planning helps the work start smoothly, keeps the site safer, and protects the finished result.
Preparation checklist
Five steps before we arrive.
Your final scheduling notes and proposal take priority; this guide helps you know what to expect.
Confirm acclimation needs
Product-specific acclimation is based on manufacturer guidance and site readings—not a universal number of days.
Clear the rooms
Remove belongings and confirm the plan for furniture and existing flooring.
Protect adjacent areas
Move fragile items and prepare for controlled cutting, fastening, and normal project noise.
Plan limited access
Some installation methods may restrict traffic while adhesives or finishes set.
Before installation day
Simple site readiness.
Create a clear route
Keep entrances, hallways, stairs, elevators, and the path to every work area open.
Protect people and pets
Arrange a separate safe area away from tools, materials, dust, adhesives, and active work.
Confirm responsibilities
Know who handles furniture, appliances, plumbing, doors, trim, disposal, and other coordinated work.
Share access details
Provide parking, keys, codes, building rules, work hours, and the best day-of contact.
Questions before the work?
Let's clear them up early.
Every site is different. Contact our team if access, furniture, timing, moisture, or other conditions are unclear.
