Plan the route from the entrance to the room.

Evanston’s Lakeshore historic inventory describes flats, walk-up buildings, and courtyard apartments alongside single-family homes. If your project is in a shared building, include the floor and entry route. Mention a courtyard entrance, stairs, or elevator arrangements when relevant, and discuss building work-hour rules before setting a visit.

Local context: City of Evanston: Lakeshore architectural resources (PDF).

Set up a room after a move

List the furniture pieces, include model or assembly instructions, and identify where the work will happen. Note the stairs or elevator and whether boxes are already inside the unit.

See the service guide

Put shelves, curtains, or a TV in place

A useful post starts with a few details.

1. Entry and carrying route
Explain the unit floor, entrance, stairs, and elevator access relevant to the project. Arrange keys, entry instructions, and any building scheduling requirements privately with your selected pro.
2. Permission and surfaces
For rented or shared property, confirm the work is authorized. Show the wall or fixture surface and note any parts of the space that should be left untouched.
3. A complete move-in list
Count furniture items, brackets, curtain rods, and other tasks separately. Include instructions or dimensions and decide whether cleanup and packaging removal belong in the agreed scope.
