Follow these few simple steps, and your home window project will be as smooth as possible on installation day.
How To Prepare Your Home For Window Installation
Pictures
So, the first rule of thumb is to take down all pictures that are close to the specific windows being replaced. In general, pictures can shift when installers are using tools to get the old windows out. What you don’t want is your priceless family portrait knocked off the wall during installation! Take any pictures off of the walls and place them in a safe spot while the construction is underway. Pictures hanging toward the interior of your house are typically fine where they are.
Knick-Knacks
The same goes for any knick-knacks. Glass objects, delicate pieces–anything that is fragile or that you’re worried about breaking– should be placed in a location that’s away from the construction area. It’s just a good idea all around. You don’t want your precious objects breaking, and neither do we!
Curtains/Drapes/Blinds
Curtains and drapes hanging in your home must come down before installation too. Installation crews need to be able to get into the nooks and crannies of the window frames. Taking the blinds down will ensure that they can remove and replace the windows with ease.
Furniture/Rugs
Please make sure to move all furniture and area rugs that are close to the windows, or in the path between the door and the windows. It’s a good idea to leave about a three-foot path between furniture and the walls; so that the crews have the space to move around safely while the installation is in process.
We Put Down Coverings
At Conservation Construction our installation crews put down coverings to ensure the least amount of dust and debris get inside your home. They are tidy, clean, and make sure to vacuum up after each installed window. This really takes the hassle out of window installation because they basically leave your home cleaner than when they arrived.
Don’t Worry About The Exterior
There is no need to stress about the outside of your house either. Even if you have trees or bushes in front of a window, the crews can work around that. They have all kinds of tricks up their sleeve to get the windows installed. No window is too hard for our crews to remove and replace.
