How to Prepare for Your Craftsman Visit
A little preparation helps us complete your punch list faster, cleaner, and with minimal disturbance to your family.
Clear the Immediate Workspace
Ensure roughly 4 feet of open floor clearance around doors, mounting wall spans, or beneath under-sink plumbing cabinets.
Have Fixtures & Paint Ready
Unbox new hardware, mirrors, or TV brackets, and keep relevant touch-up paint cans accessible on the kitchen counter.
Secure Pets & Pathway
Keep dogs and cats safely settled in a quiet room and ensure clear hall passage for our toolboxes and canvas drop cloths.
Compile Your Full Punch List
