The safety of our clients and team during this time is our top priority. We have adjusted our business and construction practices to safely continue helping our clients improve their homes. We’ll continue to update our practices and processes as CDC guidelines change.

Office Guidelines

The majority of our office staff will continue to work from home until it is deemed safe for the office to be fully staffed

Client Meetings

• If you’re calling Schloegel with a new project, rest assured, we’ll call you back quickly and ask questions to better understand your projects. From there we’ll put you in touch with a designer who best suits your needs.
• Your first meeting with your designer will probably be virtual! This allows you to meet your designer and walk them through your project so they’re able to visualize your home and thoughts about what you would like to do.
• If you are coming to our showroom to make selections we’re also taking every precaution to keep that space safe.

Showroom Guidelines

• Only one designer and client may meet per day.
• During the meeting, the designer and client(s) must maintain a distance of 6 ft apart, wear masks, and gloves at all times.
• All samples must be wiped down and put away after the meeting.
• Samples are not allowed to be checked out by the client. New samples may be ordered and delivered to a client’s home if they wish to see them in their space.
• Wipe down all areas of the showroom following use including tables, chairs, technology components, light switches, and doorknobs.
