Window replacement can be done at any time of the year, but tackling it during spring has its unique benefits. For one, this period is usually an off-peak season for not just window installers but also roofing contractors. Also, the pleasant spring weather allows the pros to expertly install new windows promptly.
To ensure a smooth and hassle-free window replacement, you must prepare your home days before the scheduled date of installation. Read on for some tips:
Talk to Your Contractor
Don’t hesitate to ask the window contractor days before the scheduled installation to learn what needs to be done to make the job easier. Find out what pieces of furniture, appliances, and other fixtures have to be relocated to open up space for the pros to perform their tasks.
Clear the Installers’ Path
Whether you’re tackling a window replacement project or a roof repair for storm damage, make sure the pros can enter in and out of your property without any of your valuables blocking their way. This way, they get to work on their tasks within a scheduled time frame. In addition to the furniture, you also have to remove curtains, drapes, and wall hangings near the potential work zone.
Cover the Inside and Outside
Removing the old windows can get messy, so it’s a great idea to cover your valuables and your flooring with pieces of drop cloth to protect them from dust and debris. Do the same for the outdoor plants or flower beds near the windows. Before you do so, be sure to ask the contractor if they’ll do this before they begin the installation.
Protect Your Family and Pets
The project may seem simple enough, but there could be health and safety hazards your kids or pets need to stay away from. Placing off-limits signs near the work zone is a creative way to inform your kids of the potential dangers. If you have pets, transfer them to an area where they won’t be disturbed while the project is underway.
