Is Your Home Ready For Window Replacement Installation?
If you have spent some time looking into the options with great care and then, you ordered your replacement windows in Ventura, CA confidently, knowing they are going to be exactly what you want for your home, you have taken a big step. However, there’s one big step left—the installation. Luckily, if you hire professional installers (and you should), you don’t have to work on the installation yourself at all. But there are some things you are going to need to do ahead of time if you want your home to be ready and conducive to the installation. Is your house ready?
No, You Have Things All Over The Paths On The Floor
If you have shoes and other things scattered about the floor, in the path from the doors to the windows that need to be replaced, it is not ready for the installation process to proceed. You want the installers to be able to get to the windows with ease so they can carry out the replacement as fast as possible. Make sure you clear those paths so they aren’t in danger and can work efficiently.
Yes, You’ve Taken Down The Window Coverings
One of the logical things you will have to do in advance is to take down any window coverings you have over the windows. The installers need complete clear access to those windows so the coverings have to come down. Once you remove them and put them somewhere safely out of the way, the home is more ready for the installation process to take place.
No, The Furniture is Up Against The Windows
Again, installers have to have complete, free access to the windows. If your bed is up against windows in the bedroom or your couch sits along a window bank in the living room, your home is not yet prepared. You have to have the windows clear of furniture so the installers can get right to work. Move things away from the windows so they are out of the way.
Yes, You Have Allowed For Electrical Outlet Access
As you move furniture, take down coverings, and clear paths on the floors, you will also want to leave easy access to electrical outlets so the installers can plug in their tools to make them work faster and easier all the way around. If they have to search and clear things away to get to the outlets, that can cut into their work time.
You want your home to have those new windows as quickly and easily as possible. The installers will work hard and fast, but they need certain things to be done before they arrive so nothing slows them down. If you aren’t sure what you need to do, just ask them. They work on installing replacement windows in Ventura, CA regularly and they are happy to give you a list of things they would ideally like for you to have done before they arrive. They can give you advice at any time.
