Window upgrades, typically a two-day job, aren’t expected to be as huge as roofing replacements. However, it still requires proper planning to ensure every step goes smoothly. Today, your double-hung window installer will list the best practices to do before and during window replacement projects. We’ll answer whether or not it’s necessary to leave the area while the process is ongoing.
- Keep your children and pets away. For the safety of your crew and your loved ones at home, it’s ideal to restrict access to the working area during the project. This also enables the team to complete the project on time with ease.
- Schedule a good time. Experts say you should prioritize your time during projects like this. Reduce the impact on your daily routines by arranging with companies whenever convenient for you. This way, you can still handle other tasks and hopefully meet them on time.
- Clear pathways. Remove items that may hinder your workers from moving freely. This allows you and your contractors to do tasks without worrying about misplacing and breaking things. You are also encouraged to discuss the aspect of the replacement window installation with your contractor before taking your precautions to limit any possible damage and post-installation clean-up.
- Plan a separate workspace for the installers. This is vital for your contractors to set up their equipment quickly. Do not forget that they need access to an electrical outlet and a room if there’s a chance of rain.
- Prepare for clean-up. It’s urged that homeowners arrange and provide them with dumpsters and bins to keep the place neat and safe from hazards. You can invest in a good vacuum to get rid of drywall dust, splintered wood, and other heavy debris.
