Installation - What to Expect and Preparation

• Light wall/damage/scratching can occur.  Please note that freshly painted walls and darker walls are more susceptible to scratching.  When possible, have touchups or the final paint coat scheduled after the flooring is installed.

• Please make sure that anything valuable or irreplaceable or which could be broken is put out of harm's way.

• Dust will be created by trades people.  Some projects, such as removing old floors, sanding, and grout removal are likely to have more amounts of dust.

• Some clean-up work will be done by trades people, but often walls, vents, upholstery will need to be cleaned afterwards. Please note, extra dust will be noticed. Carpet installers will clean up and vacuum upon completion.

• Trades will need room to work, therefore entire rooms may have to be emptied.  Workers will need a place to put their tools, material, and vehicle. On multiple day projects, these areas   must be available for the entirety of the project.  In winter months, some work may need to be preformed inside.  If possible, create a work space in your garage.

• Possible plumbing, water, and heating interruptions may occur.  Other trades may be required to work in conjunction with Clayton Flooring & Design for these issues.

• The heat must be on for installation and must be on prior to material delivery.

• Doors will have to be removed and replaced.  Closed organizers should be removed if they are floor mounted.  Often doors will have to be trimmed after installation.  This task is not a requirement of a proper installation and should be arranged with a carpenter.
