A FOOTHILLS HOME GUIDE RESOURCE
Start with the product and its installation requirements.
A product name, model and manufacturer instructions help the installer assess suitability. A photograph alone cannot establish a safe fixing method.
Gather information without beginning installation
Record the product model, quantity, dimensions from its documentation and whether the package is complete. Explain where it is intended to go and any known access limits. Confirm whether unpacking, assembly, placement and packaging removal are included.
For used furniture, note missing hardware or damage. Ask whether original instructions and compatible parts are available before scheduling work. Do not substitute unknown parts or assume an incomplete item can be safely assembled.
Treat mounting as a compatibility question
Tell the installer about the intended location, item weight from the documentation and any known wall construction. Ask how suitable support and concealed-service risks will be assessed. Do not drill exploratory holes or rely on a generic anchor recommendation from this guide.
Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions, including any anti-tip provisions. Confirm that required parts and support are suitable for the actual installation. The enquiry planner does not determine load capacity or give installation clearance.
Agree on completion details
Confirm placement, functional checks, instruction handover and cleanup. Ask what happens if the product or location is unsuitable, parts are missing or another qualified trade is needed. Clarify any return-visit charges before work begins.
Use the cost checklist and task planner to organize the proposal.
