Preparing for your project

A few things to do before we arrive. With White Glove Service, we do all of this for you.

1. 01

   Empty the cabinets and drawers

   Pack the contents into boxes, one cabinet at a time, and label each box with where it came from. It makes putting things back far easier.

2. 02

   Clear the counters and tops of the uppers

   Small appliances, décor, and anything stored on top of the upper cabinets. We'll protect the counters themselves.

3. 03

   Set aside anything precious

   Fine china, crystal, heirlooms, and valuables are best kept in another room, away from the work.

4. 04

   Set up a temporary kitchen

   Choose a room with a sink if you can; a laundry room is ideal. Set out your coffee maker, microwave, and a bin of everyday dishes and food. Plug the microwave and coffee maker into different circuits so a breaker doesn't trip.

5. 05

   Plan for open cabinets

   Doors and drawer fronts are finished away from the boxes, so the cabinets will be open for part of the project. Your proposal gives the exact dates.

6. 06

   Pets, parking, and access

   Keep pets away from the work area, and let us know about parking, gate or alarm codes, and anyone who'll be home.

On the first day, we mask and seal the room, protect floors, counters, and appliances, and add a zippered door so your refrigerator stays within reach.
