Clear the Area
Declutter your space: Remove any items from your existing deck. For larger items, consider renting a storage unit or a Storage Pod.
Access and Communication
Lockbox convenience: We suggest setting up a lockbox for easy access. This saves time and ensures we can work efficiently, even when you’re not home.
Designate a contact: Determine who will be the main point of contact for the project. At Almar, your salesperson will transition you to our Production Team once the contract is signed.
Pets, Plants, and Sprinklers
Pet safety: Keep pets away from the work area. Let our crew know your pet care plan.
Sprinkler system: Turn off your sprinklers to prevent mud and system damage. Have your sprinkler company inspect and prepare the system before we start.
Project Resources
Coordinate placement: Discuss the best location for materials, the dumpster, and a porta-potty with our team. These areas will need solid ground.
