When you resolve to the fact that you really need San Jose, CA replacement windows, there are a lot of important steps to the process. The final step, when you get there, is a great relief, but don’t let your guard down just yet. It’s important to talk to the installer who will put your windows into place so you know the end of the process is in good hands. Here are a few things you might want to ask:
How Long Have You Been Installing Windows?
While there might not be anything wrong with a new installer who has been factory trained, you’ll feel better knowing you have an installer with years of experience. When they have a proven track record, it helps you to know they can do what they need to do to get the results you want.
Have You Worked On Windows Like These Before?
Your house is unique and you never know what it could bring up as the installation process continues. However, it’s good to have an installer who has worked with the style and type of windows you have chosen so they’ll know just how to work them into your house with ease and precision.
How Long Does Installation Take?
In generally, good installers can get a window out and a new one into place in about half an hour. You can do the math and work out how long it will take within your home based on how many windows you are replacing. But if you want a more exact estimate, the installer should be able to give you a better idea.
What Preventative Measures Do You Take Against Messes?
Installation isn’t a clean job, but installers will probably have a plan of action against making things worse than they have to be. They might tell you that they keep the doors closed to rooms they are working in so the dust stays in that room instead of moving to the whole house. They might tell you that they clean up the debris as best they can so they don’t leave you with much to do once they are gone. They may even lay down sheets to keep their shoes from dragging too much around the house. It’s good to know upfront so you know how to prepare yourself for the cleaning that might have to take place later.
