Once you go through the process of choosing every detail of replacement windows in Saratoga, CA, the last and final step is to get the windows installed. You will leave that up to the professional installers, as you should, so you can guarantee the results you get. However, there are things you can do to get ready for that stage. The installers might even give you a list of things they would like for you to do. Here are a few things that you might have on that list.
Make Space Around The Windows
The installers are going to need room around the windows they are taking out and replacing. They are going to have to have enough room to get the window out and take it through the house and then, they are going to have to bring the new window in and put it into place. If you have a couch up against the windows, you’ll need to move that. If there are toys in one room scattered about under the window, move those too. Make space around every window that is going to be replaced so the installers can work.
Take Down The Window Coverings
Since the windows are coming out, it’s best to have everything completely back and out of the way. That means taking down any window coverings that are over the windows so they are free and clear of the process. Some homeowners find this a good time to get new window coverings installed once the new windows are in since they already have the old coverings off, but of course, that’s up to the individual homeowner.
Remove The Photos/Wall Hangings
Window replacement isn’t going to be a quiet job and the walls might shake a shimmer a little as the windows come out and go in. You will want to make sure you take the pictures and other wall hangings down when they are on the same walls as the windows. That way, you aren’t in danger of things falling off and breaking while the installers work.
Cover The Furniture
Window installation is a dusty job and you are going to have a layer of dust in your house once the process is complete. The installers will likely cover some things and they will do their best to be as clean as possible, removing the big debris when they leave. But there’s still going to be dust. If there are certain items you don’t want to disturb, or if you want to clean less when they leave, cover some of the larger furniture items so you don’t have to worry about as much dust when they leave.
There are other things that you might want to prepare in your home before you get the replacement windows in Saratoga, CA installed.
