You should take some time to prepare your home and your family for a window replacement to make sure the process is safe, smooth, and stress free for both you and the workers. There are four main steps you need to take to prepare your home for your new windows. They are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><strong>Give Workers Full Access<\/strong>\u202f\u2013 The window contractors will need full access to the rooms and outdoor areas surrounding the new windows. They will be carrying out old windows, bringing in new ones, and working with large tools. Therefore, they need plenty of space. Get rid of anything that could block their way, and don\u2019t forget to turn off any security systems.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><strong>Choose a Convenient Time<\/strong>: Think about you and your family\u2019s daily routine, and how you use the parts of your home that will be taken out of commission during a window replacement. Try to schedule the replacement when it will least disrupt your routine, especially since it\u2019s potentially dangerous to have children or pets around during the construction. For example, if your kids leave for school at 8am, don\u2019t have the workers come at 7:30am.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><strong>Get Messy<\/strong>\u2013\u202fWhile windows replacements might not make as big of a mess as other home improvement projects, you should expect a little mess leftover. Taking out old windows and installing replacement ones means lots of scraping, gluing, sanding, drywall patching and even painting, so you\u2019re sure to see wet paint and dry paint as well as dust. Prepare for a bit of a mess, and that way you won\u2019t be as stressed about it when it happens.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><strong>Clear the Area<\/strong>: There will be some debris, dust and dirt during and after the installation from removing the old windows, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowanddoorshop.com\/replacement-windows-with-trendy-treatments\/\">installing the new ones<\/a>, and even from the outdoors before the new windows are installed. The contractors should do their best to be clean, but it\u2019s still important to remove any furniture, valuables, or decoration items from the area surrounding the new windows. If you can\u2019t move something, like a big couch or a built-in shelving unit, cover it up with a sheet or drop cloth to help protect it from the dust or dirt.<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-86252 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.windowanddoorshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Fair-Oaks-CA-replacement-windows-2-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"Fair Oaks, CA replacement windows\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.windowanddoorshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Fair-Oaks-CA-replacement-windows-2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.windowanddoorshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Fair-Oaks-CA-replacement-windows-2-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.windowanddoorshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Fair-Oaks-CA-replacement-windows-2-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.windowanddoorshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Fair-Oaks-CA-replacement-windows-2.jpg 1132w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your window replacement should only take a day or so but do speak with your contractor beforehand for an exact estimate as things like climate, weather, and number of windows can affect the length of installation.<\/p>\n<p>Make your window replacement easier for everyone involved by taking some time to prepare.
