  • Offering free shop-at-home services and private appointments to customers who prefer not to visit our store.
  • As part of our regular practice, our stores and warehouse facilities are cleaned and sanitized daily. Following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we’re increasing the frequency of cleaning and general hygiene maintenance in stores and warehouses.
  • Stepping up our efforts to disinfect high-traffic and high-touch areas like workstations, door handles, and bathrooms, as well as posting signage about handwashing and other preventative actions. 
  • Ensure our installers are strictly following CDC guidelines, including washing hands often, disinfecting frequently touched objects, and carrying hand sanitizer.
  • We’re encouraging associates who are sick to stay home.
