Yes! Please remove any items that could be in the way of our installers. While we take great care, Florkowskys’ is not responsible for damage to floors, walls, or personal belongings while clearing the space. You’ll also need to secure children and pets as we use power tools during installation.
If your contract includes cabinet or baseboard removal, remember that older materials can be brittle and may not come out cleanly. Some breakage or damage is normal, and you may need to do a bit of paint touch-up after installation.
Due to uneven walls and ceilings, minor scuffing may occur while fitting cabinets. A bit of paint touch-up might be needed once installation is complete.
No, we do not disconnect or reconnect gas, water, electrical lines, ice makers, or dishwashers. Please arrange for a licensed professional to handle these tasks before installation begins.
Older cabinets can conceal unexpected issues. If additional preparation is needed before continuing, we will discuss it with you. Any changes or extra work may come at an additional cost.
Yes, cabinet installation can generate dust, even if saws are set up outside or in the garage. Be prepared to dust thoroughly once installation is complete. Weather conditions may require us to work indoors at times.
The job site must have proper lighting, heating, and washroom access so our installers can work efficiently. While they may bring their own portable lights, proper conditions make for a smoother process.
No, we do not install, move, or remove appliances. Customers must coordinate installation with their appliance supplier. If custom appliance panels are needed, please inform both your appliance provider and Florkowskys’ in advance.
Use a clean cloth with mild soap and warm water. Avoid scrubbing too hard, as this could create shiny spots on the finish. If refinishing is needed, this will come at an extra cost.
Wood expands and contracts with changes in humidity. If humidity is too high or too low, cabinet doors, crown molding, and panels may crack or shrink. A humidity level between 27%-33% is recommended to minimize movement. Cabinets are not covered under warranty if humidity levels fall outside this range.
Wash your block by hand with antibacterial dish soap and warm water. Add one teaspoon of bleach or vinegar to a gallon of water or rub the surface with a lemon for extra disinfecting power. Never submerge the block in water or put it in the dishwasher.
Always dry your block thoroughly after washing. For small blocks, wash both sides and let it dry standing up on edge to prevent warping and ensure even drying.
For the first month, oil your block once a week. After that, oil it at least once a month. If the surface becomes sticky, you may be oiling too often—simply clean it with a grease-cutting dish soap to remove excess oil.
Yes, standing liquid can cause stains, wood expansion, glue-joint failure, or warping. Always wipe up spills immediately to protect your butcher block.
Use a steel scraper or sandpaper to smooth out scratches or food residue. Be sure to re-oil the surface afterward to maintain protection.
No, avoid placing hot cookware directly on the surface, as it may cause damage. Also, do not put your butcher block in the microwave or dishwasher.
Your lacquered countertop is still curing during the first month, making it more susceptible to damage. Only clean with soap and water and avoid placing heavy objects on the surface.
Use antibacterial dish soap and warm water or your preferred antibacterial cleanser. Always dry the countertop thoroughly after cleaning.
No, lacquered wood surfaces are not meant for chopping. Always use a separate cutting board to protect the finish.
Avoid exposing lacquered tops to excessive heat, cold, or moisture. Consider adding integrated trivets to protect the surface if you need a heat-resistant area.
Yes, you can safely knead dough, prepare sandwiches, and place food products on the finished surface. Just ensure proper cleaning and maintenance to keep your countertop in top condition.
