Usually, once you pick out your replacement windows in San Jose, CA, the windows come in and they are installed without any issues. However, you never know with those kinds of projects what the end result might be. Things could go wrong and it’s better to anticipate those items instead of dealing with complete shock if they arise. Here are a few challenges you might have to face, though the occasions are rare:
Construction Issues
The windows you ordered come in and the installers come to your house, ready to do the job. They pull out a window in order to replace it and they find construction issues behind it. Perhaps you had carpenter ants eating away at the studs around the windows and you didn’t know it. Or they found mold growth that has to be dealt with before they can continue. Whatever the problem is, it’s a good thing that they found it. And while it might delay the installation a bit, you’ll want to get those things fixed before they move forward. Dealing with house repairs is never fun, but you never know what will be found when the windows come out.
Shipping Delays Windows
The manufacturers can give the window companies a pretty good idea when the windows will come in and you can set your installation date around that. But you never really know when shipping is going to get delays. If that happens, you could find the need to put your installation off for the windows to arrive. It’s a pain when you have everything planned, but there’s’ not really much you can do about it.
Rain Delays
If you choose a season that doesn’t get much rain, you won’t have to worry too much. But if it does rain when your installation is taking place, it could slow things down a bit. The rain could also get into your house and cause water damage, like on wood floors, though installers generally know how to avoid such messes. If it’s raining so hard that the installers can’t safely work, the project might have to be delayed. Check the forecast around the installation date to see what to expect so you aren’t surprised.
Life Issues Get In The Way
When you planned the window installation, you fully intended to be there to let the installers in and to supervise the project in case they needed you for anything. But life happens and things can pop up and get in the way. Perhaps something dire comes up at work or a family death takes you out of town. You can either arrange for someone else to let installers in or you can put the installation off until you are available.
