The Ultimate Guide to Preparing Your Garage for a Penntek Floor Coating
1. Declutter Your Garage: The First Step to Success
A clean, empty garage provides the ideal workspace for your installation team. Clearing out your belongings helps protect them from dust and debris while giving installers full access to your floors. Here’s how to tackle it:
Sort and Organize: Separate items into categories—keep, donate, or toss.
Plan Ahead: Start decluttering at least a few days before the installation to avoid last-minute stress.
Temporary Storage Solutions: Use portable storage units, tarps, or designated areas in your home to keep items safe during the project.
2. Temporary Storage Solutions: Protect Your Belongings During Installation
You’ll need to clear your garage entirely for the duration of the project. Finding the right temporary storage solution is key to keeping your items secure and accessible. Consider the following options:
Portable Storage Units: Delivered to your home, these provide a weatherproof option for your belongings.
Garage Tents or Tarps: Protect items stored outside with heavy-duty covers.
Neighbor or Family: If possible, ask a neighbor or family member to store a few items during the process.
Make sure your chosen solution is ready to go well before installation day. Ask your dealer if they have any discounts or deals with local storage companies.
3. Safety First: Precautions to Ensure a Hassle-Free Installation
Creating a safe work environment ensures a hassle-free installation for everyone involved. Follow these tips:
Keep Children, Pets, and Delivery Drivers Away: Use caution tape or clear signage to restrict access to the garage and surrounding areas.
Secure the Area: Communicate with household members to ensure they understand the installation is in progress.
4. The Final Step: Be Ready for Installation Day
Preparation is all about ensuring the team can hit the ground running when installation day arrives. Here are some final reminders:
Clear the Space: Make sure the garage is entirely empty and accessible to the installers.
Confirm the Schedule: Double-check the date and time of the installation with your Penntek-certified team. Your dealer should call you ahead of time to confirm.
Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to contact your installer with any last-minute questions or concerns.
