Updating the flooring in your home can have a transformative effect. However, before contractors can install your new carpet, linoleum, or vinyl tiles, you will need to create a space for them to work. The following guide lists ways to make this process go as efficiently as possible. 

3 Ways to Get Ready for New Floors to Be Put In 

1. Clear a Path

For this project, professionals will be moving in and out of your home, carrying bulky tools and materials that might hinder their ability to see clearly. If the path they will need to take is cluttered, it increases the chances they will trip. Therefore, relocate items that might get underfoot. 

2. Move Furniture & Appliances

Before a room can be upgraded with new carpet or flooring, it will need to be clear of other objects. Move furniture in the to-be-renovated spaces elsewhere. If you are remodeling a kitchen or laundry room, appliances like your refrigerator or washing machine will also need to be relocated. Talk to your contractor about whether they can help with this task or if you need to make arrangements ahead of time.  

3. Find Child & Pet Care

Young children or pets might get upset by the presence of strangers or by the loud noises involved with the work. Alternatively, they may be curious about what is going on and try to sneak into the construction area. To avoid either scenario, figure out ways to keep them entertained during the project. This may mean restricting them to safer parts of the house or arranging for them to go elsewhere for the day.
