Help homeowners plan their projects by detailing realistic timelines and process steps. Pre-installation phase (1-2 weeks): selecting materials, ordering supplies (popular items may have 2-4 week lead times), scheduling installation, preparing the space (removing furniture, existing flooring if needed). Day before installation: clear the room completely, remove baseboards if keeping them, ensure pets/children arrangements. Installation day breakdown by flooring type: Hardwood (3-5 days for 1,000 sqft – includes installation, sanding, staining, multiple finish coats with drying time), Laminate/LVP (1-2 days for same space – faster installation, immediate use after 24 hours), Tile (4-7 days – includes setting, grouting, sealing; can’t walk on for 24-72 hours), Carpet (1-2 days – quickest installation, can use immediately). Post-installation (1-7 days): curing time, reinstalling baseboards/trim, moving furniture back (use felt pads), initial cleaning. Address common concerns: living arrangements during installation, dust and noise levels, odor from adhesives/finishes, protecting new floors during final touches. Include tips for preparation like packing up rooms, creating workspace access, confirming measurements before ordering. Add a printable checklist. Explain how your company provides detailed project schedules, communicates daily progress, and respects homeowners’ time with efficient, professional crews. This transparency builds trust and sets proper expectations.
