Once you have selected and ordered all your finish material, you will get an estimated date of delivery. Upon receipt of all the material and inspection to confirm it is all in one piece and has arrived in its entirety, your contractor will give you a start date for construction. It is imperative you are ready for construction the day that your demo crew arrives.
What do you need to do to prepare? Here are some tips:
- Remove everything you want to keep from your bathroom. Anything not removed from the bathroom will be considered trash. This means if you want to keep your towel rings, towel racks, shelving, pictures, photos, etc – you need to take them off the walls.
- Remove any shower curtains, rods, and shower curtain rings.
- Take out any plants.
- Remove everything from the bathroom including the shower curtain and anything inside of your bathtub or shower.
- Clean your toilet. This is more of a courtesy than anything. Your contractor will need to remove the toilet, wouldn’t it be nice if the toilet was clean for the installer to remove?
- Clean your shower and tub. Again, this is more of a courtesy than anything else.
- Clear out your cabinets and medicine cabinet. Again, anything not removed will be considered trash.
- Take out any rugs. They are a hazard and we would not want to damage any rugs during the remodel, especially if you intend to keep them.
- Remove your trash can. We will not use your trash cans so go ahead and place them in a secure place.
We might suggest closing as many doors as possible each day to avoid the spread of dust, which is inevitable during your remodel.
