The Importance of In-House Furniture Installation for Quality Workmanship
When outfitting your business with new commercial desks, office furniture, and flooring, installation is just as important as the products themselves. High-quality office furniture, such as desks, chairs, conference tables, cubicles, and storage solutions, alongside durable flooring like tile, wood, and laminate, represent significant investments. Many businesses also partner with interior designers to create office spaces that suit their operational needs. At OFDC, we are proud to have in-house commercial interior designers to help craft the optimal solutions for our customers’ commercial spaces.
But once you’ve made the investment, the next question is: who will handle the installation?
While some businesses might try to cut costs by hiring a handyman from an online search, this approach can lead to costly mistakes. Untrained installers can damage your professional office furniture and flooring, and if they don’t have adequate liability insurance, you could be left with expensive repairs or replacements to manage.
Why Professional, In-House Installation Matters
Many commercial furniture and flooring companies choose to outsource installations to third-party contractors for cost savings. While this may seem practical, it often comes at the expense of quality. At OFDC Commercial Interiors, we’ve chosen to take a different approach. Our in-house installation teams ensure superior service, and here’s why that matters for businesses in Southwest Florida:
1. Product Familiarity
In-house installation teams receive thorough training on the specific products they’ll be working with. This ensures your furniture and flooring are installed according to the manufacturer’s precise specifications, reducing the chance for errors and speeding up installation time.
2. Blueprint Knowledge
Our installers are skilled in reading floor plans, which means your furniture and flooring will be placed exactly where it’s intended. This precision helps avoid unnecessary delays and ensures a smoother installation process.
3. Commitment to High Standards
Unlike subcontractors, who may not share the same level of commitment, our full-time employees are held to OFDC’s rigorous standards of craftsmanship. Each installer upholds our core values, which include integrity, ethics, and teamwork, ensuring that every job is done right the first time.
4. Experience & Efficiency
OFDC offers benefits such as health insurance, paid vacation time, and a 401K plan to our full-time employees. This attracts skilled, experienced installers who can complete projects with greater efficiency and accuracy, ensuring that your installation runs smoothly from start to finish.
5. Access to the Right Tools
Our installers have access to all the necessary tools and equipment to complete the job. This eliminates the frustration of using makeshift solutions or searching for the right tool, speeding up the process and ensuring precision.
6. Professionalism
At OFDC, professionalism is key. All our employees, from office staff to project managers and installers, are trained to interact with customers in a respectful and professional manner. Our installers wear company uniforms and drive branded vehicles, providing reassurance that you’re working with a trusted, professional team. We also take great care to avoid damage to walls, floors, or other areas during installation.
7. Attention to Detail
Our installers take a meticulous, detail-oriented approach. This means your furniture will be assembled correctly, and your flooring will be installed properly, ensuring long-lasting durability, even under heavy foot traffic.
8. Maintaining Manufacturer Warranties
Some manufacturers require professional installation to honor warranties. With OFDC’s in-house team, you can rest assured that your installation will meet warranty requirements, making it easier to address any product defects or issues in the future.
9. Flexible Scheduling
At OFDC, we control the installation schedule, not a third-party company. This allows us to minimize disruptions to your business and even offer after-hours or weekend installations if needed.
