HOW TO PREPARE 

Remove all furniture from the room. If the room is opened to another room/area of the house, cover furniture with bed sheets or drop cloth.

Removal of wall decor will ensure their safety from sander and hammering vibrations, and light dust build up.

 Drapes should be removed or rolled up and covered with plastic.

A general sweeping to the area as well as adjacent rooms.

Take your pets to a friend’s house or keep them locked in an area of the house away from the floors being worked on. A pet can cause quite a bit of damage if allowed to walk on a floor that’s just been coated. Also, materials used to coat hardwood floors may be deadly if consumed by a pet and loud noise from the floor sanders could permanently damage your pets hearing.

 A clear pathway to access the 220v outlet to provide power to the drum sander. This may be in use by an electric stove or dryer.

Keep the temperature warm in the winter/cool in the summer (around 65° F). Do not turn off air conditioning or heating systems.

If you remove carpet or tile from the floor yourself, be careful not to damage the wood. Knife marks on a hardwood floor might be impossible to sand out.

Working light bulbs in all light fixtures available.
