When preparing for new flooring installation, it’s important to think of every corner. Begin by clearing out items from your closets, cabinets, and other storage spaces where the flooring will be laid. If the installation extends to your entryway, don’t forget to tidy up your coat closet. For a kitchen floor replacement, make sure to empty your pantry and adjacent spaces like the foyer or laundry room. In the rush to get ready for the big day, homeowners often forget these smaller, less obvious areas. While you may have moved furniture and removed family pictures from the walls, storage spaces often slip through the cracks. To make the installation process smoother, take time to clear shelves of books and fragile items to ensure they’re easily accessible.
