What to Expect
We are so excited to work with you! Below you will find valuable information regarding the upcoming project in your home.
First Things First
If you have not already done so, please electronically sign your proposal and contact our office to make deposit arrangements. We cannot begin work until our office is in receipt of your signed contract and project deposit.
Crew Arrival Times
Our office will text you between 3pm and 6pm each day prior to our crew’s arrival with estimated windows of time. These times are good-faith approximations.. Please know we do everything in our power to be timely.
Floor Stain Color Matters
If you are having your floors stained, you can expect to see stain color samples on the first day your sanding begins. Our talented technicians will sand a small area of your floor and lay up to 5 samples for you to choose from. This the best way to see how the stain will look; taking into account the lighting, wall colors, porousness of your wood floors and various other factors.
Preparation
If you are having sanding and finishing work done on your home, please make sure that you are prepared before the sanders arrive by taking the following measures:
-
- Cover all heating vents and air returns in the area to avoid dust in your air conditioning system
- Put up plastic covering in doorways to prevent dust from getting into adjacent rooms
- If you are having a kitchen done, please cover all cabinets to prevent dust from getting into the cabinets and items that might be inside them
- If you have any window treatments that can be removed, we would recommend removing them from the work area to prevent dust from getting on them.
- If there are any spaces and/or objects on walls, etc. that you would like to preserve from dust, removing or covering them would be advised
- *Please Note: If sanding work is being done in your home, access to the panel box will be required to run our machinesRead over the customer responsibilities on the bottom of your contract to be aware of any additional preparation for your specific project

If later that same day, our crew comes and installs the new hardwood floors, another bill will be given and due.
