Before the project

Prepare for subfloor preparation.

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.

01

Allow access to the substrate

Existing finishes and belongings must be removed from the work area as agreed.

02

Share known history

Tell us about leaks, movement, prior patches, adhesives, or recurring floor issues.

03

Expect scope refinement

Some conditions can only be measured accurately once the existing floor is removed.

04

Plan for drying time

Patches, levelers, primers, and moisture-related products require product-specific cure time.

05

Coordinate other trades

Structural, plumbing, or environmental work may need completion before flooring prep continues.

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.
