Clear space before I arrive
General ask.
Hi Taylor — can you clear the work area (move boxes / furniture out of the way) before I get there? I’ll need room to start on time.
Please clear the work area
Need a clear the work area text before a visit? Ask them to move cars, boxes, furniture, or clutter so you can start when you arrive. One polite heads-up the night before (or morning-of) beats sitting on the clock while they scramble — and it’s not the same as a parking snag or a “not ready” cancel.
Swap Taylor for their name. Name the space (garage, kitchen, driveway) so they know what to clear.
When to use this
- The job needs a clear floor, counter, driveway, or garage before you can start.
- You’re reminding them the night before or the morning of the visit.
- Not “the whole job can’t happen / site not ready” cancel — use Not ready.
- Not a parking or gate access failure after you arrived — use Parking issue or Gate code.
Move the car / driveway
Vehicle in the way.
Quick ask: please move the car out of the driveway (or off the work side) before my window so I can unload and start right away.
Garage / basement clear
Specific room.
Hi — I’ll be working in the garage. If you can clear a path and move anything fragile off the floor beforehand, that helps a lot. Thanks!
Morning-of reminder
Gentle nudge same day.
Reminder for today — please clear the work area so I can begin when I arrive. See you soon.
Thanks — area ready
They confirmed.
Perfect — thanks for clearing it. On my way / see you at the window.
How to send it
