Leave No Trace

Surprisingly, this topic is one of the finer details of my craft that often gets overlooked by many in my trade.   Let's face it, you're sinking thousands of dollars into your dream renovation and there is nothing worse than having to do additional unnecessary clean up long after I'm gone.  Your belongings are valuable and worth protecting during any installation so make sure that whomever you choose is serious about protecting your assets.  Make sure your contractor/installer keeps your belongings protected by covering them with drop cloths or tarps.  It may seem like such a trivial thing, but my work revolves around cutting, sawing, painting, sanding and plumbing which puts a lot of dust into the workspace.  By covering your belongings at the beginning of the project, you'll be happy with the finished product the moment I leave your house.
