In an effort to keep your house as clean as possible we will spread drop cloths, daily, from the bathroom to the entry door we work through, and put visqueen over furniture in the immediate area of the bathroom. If you have a computer or fish tank in the house we recommend that you cover these during the day. We will not be able to contain all of the dust associated with the remodeling, although we make an honest effort. However we  recommend that you save any major cleaning until we are finished with your project. If you have hard-to-clean knick knacks, you may consider boxing them up until we are finished.

If we are replacing your bathtub you will need to be prepared to be without it for at least one night and morning, usually the first and second day of the project, however it could be longer if we run into additional repairs or if the fixtures are being relocated.

We will also need to make arrangements for the installers to get into your house throughout the project. There may be times the installers will need to leave your house during the day to get materials, or eat lunch; so we need to be able to lock up and get back into the house if you are not home. Please feel confident that our installers will respect your home and contents, and may be trusted with a key or garage door opener.

Most generally our crews arrive at the jobsite between 8 - 8:30AM and will typically work until 3:30 - 4PM. However, there may be days that they will work on your project for a partial day, then leave in order to allow materials to dry, or cure, overnight; or they may work later to get to a specific stopping point. Please be assured that we will do as much as possible each day on your project.

On the first day or two of your job, your installers may have to start late or work only partial days. This is due to having to finish final detailing of the bathroom he was installing prior to yours. Please be patient; We will afford you that same courtesy at the end of your job to make sure all of your expectations are met prior to saying the job is finished.

As you were told during your initial showroom appointment, we try not to use sub-contractors because we cannot control their quality. However, our installers do have different areas of expertise. Therefore, you may have different installers working in your home throughout the process. However, we will try to have the same installer finish your job that started it. Please advise him of any specific concerns you may have with the remodeling process. He, in turn, will try to keep you appraised of the progress.

Your projected start date is contingent on our receiving all of the materials for your project in our warehouse prior to starting your job. If we have not received all of your products by the end of the week prior to your scheduled start date we will call you and discuss the possibility of rescheduling.

On occasion we may call asking permission to start the job a few days early. If this is the case, and you can accommodate our request, we appreciate your cooperation. However, you are within your rights, if this causes an inconvenience, to request that we continue as previously scheduled.

We would like to outline some items and precautions to be taken before your project begins.

______ Review the agreement to refresh yourself with what is included.

______ Remove personal items from the areas we will be working in - i.e. clean out the vanity and medicine cabinet if we will be replacing them, remove soap and shampoo products from the tub/shower, remove bathroom towels, remove any wall hangings from bathroom walls etc..

______ Move all furnishings and accessories that may be in the path from the bathroom to the entry door we’ll be working through.

______ Remove wall hangings from rooms that share walls with the bathroom.

______ Provide access to main water shutoff valve, electrical panel, and attic access if applicable.

______ Please keep children and pets clear of the construction area and away from materials and tools.

We take precautionary measures to confine dust and debris to construction areas, however, it is impossible to totally contain dust. Therefore:

______ You may wish to cover furnishings, computers, fish tanks, etc.

______ Close doors to other rooms, and vacuum to help control dust from spreading.

______ Check furnace filters frequently during the demolition and reconstruction process.
