Making The Window Replacement Installation Go Fast

Once you go through the process of choosing all of the details on replacement windows in Santa Barbara, CA, the last step you have to go through is to have the installation done. Professional installation is always best because that way, you keep your manufacturer’s warranty intact and you get the performance you expect from the windows. But you want that installation to fly by so you can start to enjoy your windows. Plus, it can be a dusty, noisy experience and it’s nice to have it out of the way. Here are some things you can do to make things go faster.

Make A Plan For Pets

You know that loud noises and strangers may very well freak your pet out and they have a tendency to be underfoot, too. You don’t want them getting in the way, getting hurt, or stalling the installation because they are always curious about what everyone is doing. Have a friend take your pet for the day or, if you can’t find any help, keep the pet in an interior room with no windows, like perhaps a laundry room or bathroom. They will feel safer with the noise and you know they won’t be in the way and slowing anything down.

Have Coverings Down

The installers are going to have to get to the windows in order to replace them. That means the window coverings have to be removed. Take those down prior to their appearance on installation day and things will go a lot faster. They might be able to take them down for you, but then the process will take longer and there might even be extra charges.

Clear Paths

If you have furniture that juts up against windows or other things that are in the path from the door to those windows, rearranging a bit and clearing those paths can really speed things along. You want the professionals to be safe and to have easy access to any window they are going to replace. You can do one room and have them start there and then work on clearing paths in other rooms while they install windows in the first space.

Hang Around

While you don’t want to be in the way or underfoot, either, it is a good idea for you to be at home when the installers are working, just in case. If they remove a window, for example, and find rot in the wood around it, they might need to talk to you about a repair before they move forward. Being home for those instances will help the process run along smoothly as well.
