First, cover all wall pictures and artwork. This preventative measure will protect them from flying debris that occurs during the demo and installation process. If the wall art is very expensive then take the time to remove it for safe keeping.
Secondly, if you have a lot of expensive furniture then take the time to order a POD. These are the portable on demand storage units. These storage units come in several sizes and are place outside your front door or driveway. Your aim is the safe, secure storage of your valuable furnishings.
Third, please take the time to remove all valuable jewelry, watches, and money. Every tile contractor will tell you that they have a trustworthy team. However, temptation is unpredictable. It is always better to be safe, than sorry.
