Due to the nature of construction business, the estimated number of days may fluctuate and/or may not be consecutive. As the project progresses, we can better anticipate the projected dates and completion. In the event you need to delay your project, please contact the office no less than 5 business days prior to the date of installation in order to avoid re-scheduling fees. Prior to arrival, our office will contact you to collect the 50% labor deposit, followed by the 50% labor balance due upon completion *unless your contract has a different payment arrangement. Cash, check, or credit card may be used. If you prefer to use a different credit card other than the one you used for your deposit, please let our office know at the time of collection. Otherwise, your original credit card will be charged. Our office will call you 24 hours prior to your installation date to confirm your installer’s arrival time. Please feel free to contact our office any time if you have any questions. We are excited to get started on your project, and we hope you can be present at the end of the installation process because we would love to walk you through the finished product. To ensure the installation goes smoothly, here is what you can do to prepare your space before the installers arrive.

ACCESS TO YOUR HOME: If there are any special arrangements including parking instructions, parking permits, entry codes, use of service elevators or certain hours when workers are allowed to work, please let our office know, so they can inform the installers.

 CLEAR THE SPACE: It’s important that the installers have a blank area to do the installation. Please remove all personal items including accessories and any mementos. Anything that is movable, like appliances, also needs to be taken out of space. If noted in your paperwork, we will remove and dispose of old cabinetry. Should you choose to keep any of the materials we remove, please let us know ahead of time.

CLEAR THE AREA: The installers need to have a clear path to the workspace and its surrounding area to work. Please remove all pictures, mirrors, and knickknacks in the immediate area. Any artwork or decorative items need to be removed, so any minor hammering won’t cause something to shake or fall over. Don’t forget to put away any valuables.

PETS & YOUNG CHILDREN: The safety and security of your family and loved ones is of prime importance to us. Our installers carry heavy equipment in and out of the installation area and they will be using nails and screws. To ensure the absolute safety of your children and furry friends, we kindly ask that your children and any indoor pets remain in a separate area.

IDENTIFY A WORK AREA: Since your unit is custom-built, the installers will need to cut materials during the installation. To do so, please identify an area -preferably outside -where they can work and show them that area when they arrive. The workspace needs to have an electrical outlet for the installer’s power tools and take care to cover everything nearby, so nothing gets dusty.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Let us know if you have any special instructions or information for us. Examples include other contractors working in your home at the same time, new floors where protective booties are necessary for our workers, etc.

The following outlines Fournier Custom Designs storage and delivery service.  As the customer, you may provide a date you would like the job to be done by when you send back the signed contract. Please keep the date reasonable, since it depends on the availability of the cabinet line you chose.
