Ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient granite installation by reviewing the steps below before your scheduled appointment.

---

Step 1: Be Ready for Installation 🏠

• An adult (18+) must be present for the entire installation.
• Cabinets must be fully installed, secured, and level.
• Sink base cabinets must be properly sized and ready for your sink.
• Any recommended supports (brackets, corbels, steel supports) should be installed if advised.

---

Step 2: Clear the Area ✨

• Remove all drawers, shelves, and cabinet contents from the installation area.
• Clear and clean the countertops and area beneath them.
• Protect or move nearby furniture to prevent dust exposure.
• Remove all breakable items from surrounding rooms.
• Keep children and pets away from the work area.

---

Step 3: Ensure Access 🚪

• Ensure a clear, unobstructed path from the driveway to the installation area. Granite pieces are heavy and large.
• Make sure doorways, hallways, and turns are accessible for installers.
• Remove snow or ice from the driveway, walkways, and entry paths on installation day.

---

Step 4: Dust & Cutting ⚒️

• Dust is normal during installation and may settle afterward. This includes dust from stone cutting or any on-site wood modifications.
• Installers will perform a basic clean of the work area, but detailed cleaning is the homeowner’s responsibility.
• The company is not liable for dust settling after installation.

Step 5: Smells & Ventilation 🌬️

• Odors from adhesives, sealers, or other materials may occur.
• Ensure proper ventilation if sensitive.
• The company is not liable for reactions to standard installation materials.

---

Step 6: Protect Walls & Finishes 🖌️

• Minor wall contact may occur where stone meets three connecting walls.
• The company is not liable for minor scratches or marks on walls, paint, or finishes.
• Touch-ups may be required after installation.

---

Step 7: Plumbing, Electrical & Other Trades 💧⚡

• Do not schedule plumbers, electricians, or other trades right after installation. Please allow 6-12 hours after installation.
• Ensure sinks, faucets, and appliances needed for installation are on-site. Final connections must be completed by licensed trades.

---

Step 8: Payment & Completion 💰

• Final payment is due upon completion of the installation.

Step 9: Important Notes 📝

• Granite is a natural material; variations in color, pattern, and veining are normal.
• Changes to cabinetry or layout after templating may require re-templating and additional costs.
• Delays caused by site readiness issues may result in rescheduling fees.
