New Construction Pre-Delivery Checklist
We deliver, install, and test the appliance, so your appliance will be ready to use by the time we leave your house or jobsite. If our crews must return for any reason to finish this process, you will be charged additional fees and $99 trip charge per additional trip. If we cannot properly test the appliance and connections prior to leaving, it is your full responsibility to test and check for all leaks or defects. We will not cover any property damage if the appliance is not tested by our crews and require all defective appliances to be reported to us within 48 hours of the delivery.
For a better experience, please read over the below bullet points prior to scheduling your delivery or install with us:
- Confirm with your builder, general contractor, cabinet company, or countertop company that each space is built to spec to each appliance you purchased by going over the appliance spec sheets. They are responsible for any space not ready and rectifying it prior to our arrival
