29. Cleaning: The house must receive a
thorough cleaning before the finishing is begun.
- If you haven't already done so don't forget to pick
out your Light Fixtures.
30: Finishing Carpenter: At this stage
get all your finishing materials brought in.
- The Painter may want to paint any mouldings or doors
before the Finishing Carpenter touches them. In this
case the Painter should come in before the Finishing
Carpenter.
31. Painting: The Painter will usually
paint the kitchen and bathrooms first so the Cabinets can
be installed.
32: Cabinets: When the Painter is finished
painting the rooms where Cabinets are to be installed, the
Cabinets should be delivered and installed.
33: Tile Work: Any Ceramic Tile work can
now be done.
- Remember, too many people in the house at the same
time is not a good idea.
34. Plumbing: The kitchen and bathroom
fixtures should be installed.
- At this time they will install the sinks, taps and
toilets, they will hook-up the water tank.
35. Closet Organizers: In each closet
you will probably want shelves and/or rods, there are many
types to chose from.
- Closet Organizers should be installed after the house
has been painted.
36. Light Fixtures: The Electrician will
now hang the Light Fixtures and put on the wall plates.
37. Blinds: Blinds and/or curtains may
be put in after painting is done.
38. Carpet: When the Painting, Cabinets,
and Tile are done the carpet may be installed.
- The Carpet should be the very last thing that gets
installed. You do not want any stains even before you
have had chance to make the first one.
- Clean: Even though most
of the trades people clean up their own mess, you want
to make very sure that especially the floor is clean
and nothing is protruding before the carpets
are put down.
44. Finishing: There are
usually some marks on the walls from the Cabinets or Flooring
and the Painter will come back to touch-up those spots. Also
if necessary the finishing Carpenter will finish anything
that still needs doing.
45. Final Inspection:
