If you want to upgrade the windows in your home, a reputable contractor will remove the old and install the new. There are steps you can take, however, to facilitate the installation of replacement windows. Here’s what you need to know about readying your home before the installers arrive. 

3 Ways to Prepare Your Home for Replacement Windows

1. Ensure Easy Access

Remove all interior and exterior window treatments, including motion detectors, blinds, and drapes, so contractors can get to work right away. Also, move any furniture out of the way that hinders access. Installers will be carrying bulky frames and glass panes in and out, so give them a clear pathway through your house and garage and across porches and grounds. 

2. Cover Stationary Decor 

Contractors will lay down drop cloths to protect your flooring and furniture as they work. For an added layer of protection, apply tarps over permanently attached furnishings or objects too heavy to move, like upholstered couches, stair railings, and antique chandeliers. 

3. Rearrange Your Schedule

If you stay home while the installers are working, you can prevent delays by answering questions as they arise. Take the day off work, or schedule service for a day when you can work from home. Also, consider sending pets to the kennel. They may get stressed out by all the commotion or slip out while the contractors are toting windows in and out.
