Once you've completed the installation, you should carefully check the finished floor to make sure everything looks right.

You should also clean up all scraps and vacuum the floor.

This will make it easier for you to see any blemishes or problems that might need fixing before you leave the site.

If you do find any problems, fix them straight away - don't wait for complaints or call backs from the client.

Another reason for making sure everything is left clean and tidy is that it will enhance your image as a professional operator.

Clients appreciate tidy tradespeople - especially if you're working in their home.
