Getting replacement windows in Los Gatos, CA takes time and effort. You have to think about the specifics of what you need for your new windows so you can put together the exact right elements for your home. Once you spend the time thinking through the options and upgrades and you order the windows you know your home will appreciate, you then have to get the windows installed. The installation process only takes a day, maybe two at the most. You can count on each window taking about half an hour to remove and replace. You can also ask the installers for specific timeline guides. While you don’t have to be home while the replacement takes place, it is a good idea to consider being around in case the installers run into any issues and need your advice. So if you are stuck at home for the day, here are a few ideas for things you can do.
Take Walks With Your Dog
Your dog might be rather nervous about what’s going on in the house so it’s best to get him out and away from the noise and strange people. Take him for several walks around the block so you are nearby, but enjoying the fresh air and giving him a break from the extra stress that is on him with everything going on around him.
Bring Work Home
Depending on your job, you may be able to bring paperwork or a laptop home filled with plenty of work to keep you busy for the day. You may not even really have to take the day off from work to be home, just a day away from the physical office. You can move around throughout the day to different spaces as the installers take over one room after another and get some of your work done. You might want to wear headphones and play music so the noise doesn’t distract you too much.
Organize Overdo Areas
Everyone has one or more areas of their home that need organization and there’s always a reason why you don’t have time for that process. But when you are home for the day, you might not be able to put it off any longer. It’s a good time to dig into that junk drawer, that over-filled close, the boxes in the attic, and other such areas. Organize, get rid of things, and you are not only getting new windows, but also further organization in your home.
When you are ready for the installation process, it won’t be long before the replacement windows in Los Gatos, CA are on your home and working well for your family. If you aren’t sure what you can or can’t do while the installers work, talk to the professionals at The Screen Shop and we will tell you what’s best. You don’t, for example, want to do a lot of baking in the kitchen if windows are being installed nearby, throwing dust around in the room.
