Laminate Installation Guidelines
Here is what you should expect before your laminate flooring installation:
- Remove all furniture before installation day.
- If you plan on not being home at the time of installation, please leave instructions as to gaining entry into your home as well as a phone number where you can be reached if needed.
- Ensure pets and children are not present on installation day.
- The installation may create a great deal of dust that we cannot entirely control. Therefore, please expect to have to clean the installation and surrounding areas.
- Gas appliances must be reconnected by your gas supplier.
- Please remove all linens from beds that need to be moved or disassembled.
- If your new floor is higher than your existing floor, it may be necessary for us to trim the bottom of your doors in order for them to open and close. There will be an additional charge for this.
- Make sure the job site is clean and ready before we arrive.
We will go over all charges with you prior to installation. There may be additional charges if the installer is asked to perform work that is not part of the original scope or if a problem is revealed that our estimator could not anticipate.
Laminate Installation Guidelines
- Don’t allow heavy furniture to be moved onto the new installation for 24-48 hours. You also should avoid walking on your laminate floors during this period of time as well. These precautions can help ensure that any used adhesive has time to dry.
- Avoid walking on your laminate floor with high-heeled shoes at all times.
- Ensure walk-off mats are approved for laminate, or they will discolor your floor.
- Enjoy your laminate, and stay in touch with our team as needs arise.
