It’s installation day! Time to get excited!
It’s a great feeling, but it can also come with some stress and uncertainty. No worries! With a few simple tips, you can have a smooth experience when your window installation crew arrives.
Last time, we discussed ways to prepare for Installation Day. Now we’re going to dig into some tips on how you can help keep things running smoothly during the actual day itself.
Read on to learn more!
What to Expect on the Day
The crew will remove your old windows and carefully prepare the new ones for installation. They’ll insulate your new windows and add trim for a clean, finished look.
Of course, all of this comes with a good amount of mess, but the crew will take precautions to protect your home. They’ll lay down drop cloths and tarps to keep your floors and surrounding areas clean and free from damage.
After the job is complete, they’ll tidy after themselves and haul away any debris.
Just keep in mind that dust can go airborne, so you may still have to do some light cleaning after the installation is done.
Keep Children and Pets Away
When getting new installation work done in your home, it’s important to consider the safety and well-being of your loved ones.
If you have children or pets, it’s a good idea to plan ahead. Ideally, make arrangements for them to be away during the installation process. This will prevent them from accidentally wandering into the work area and getting hurt – as well as reduce the risk of the crew being distracted or slowed down.
Keep in mind that the work area will likely be noisy and dusty, which isn’t a safe environment for children or pets to be in.
It’s Okay to Be Present (But Not Too Present)
When it comes to home improvement projects, it’s important to strike a good balance between being present and not hovering over the crew.
Hovering and micromanaging will only hinder progress – not help it.
Remember that the crew you’ve hired has both the expertise and experience necessary to complete the project successfully. Instead of getting in their way, trust them and allow them the space they need to work efficiently.
If you need to step away during the installation process, you may wish to leave your phone number in case the crew needs to get in touch with you.
Be Flexible – Expect the Unexpected
There’s nothing quite like the excitement of watching your home transform before your very eyes. A new set of windows can completely change a room, giving it a much-needed breath of fresh air. And sunlight.
But with any renovation comes the possibility of unexpected surprises.
Professional installers are skilled at their craft, but accidents can happen to anyone. And it’s important to remember that there may be unexpected roadblocks during the installation process.
While you can’t predict every little thing that might go wrong, it’s best to approach the situation with flexibility. Don’t stress too much. With the right mindset and preparation, you’ll be able to handle any curveball that comes your way.
