If you’ve decided to take your kitchen to the next level with a new countertop installation, you need to prepare your home for the work to be done. To help set up your contractor for success and minimize inconveniences, use the following tips.

How to Prepare Your Kitchen for Countertop Installation

1. Use an Alternative Food Preparation Space

During installation, the countertop will be out of commission for most of the time needed to prepare the new one. Prepare simple meals, grill outdoors, or set up an alternative kitchen space with portable equipment to cook for your family while work is ongoing.

2. Move Appliances Out of the Way

The contractors who work on your countertop installation will need plenty of room to maneuver, so move appliances, such as coffeemakers, blenders, and toaster ovens, away from the counters after disconnecting them. Cover them with tarps or dust sheets as well to protect them from dust.

3. Minimize the Mess

Countertop installation requires moving in bulky materials and equipment. Help your contractor out by pointing out the quickest and most effective route in and out of the kitchen to reduce the mess in your home and make it easier for them to clean up at the end of the day. You can also lay down tarps, cloths, or cardboard to defend against dirt and dust as your contractor travels back and forth with tools and materials.
