Installing new, energy-efficient windows is one of the best investments you can make for your home, enhancing comfort, improving insulation, and lowering energy bills. To make your installation day smooth and stress-free, a little preparation goes a long way. Here’s how to get your home ready:
1. Clear the Area
Remove furniture, décor, and window treatments (curtains, blinds, shades) from around the windows being replaced. Give your installer about 3 feet of working space inside and out.
2. Take Down Wall Décor
Vibrations from the installation process can shake items loose. Remove anything hanging on walls near the windows, especially fragile or valuable pieces.
3. Deactivate Alarms
If your windows are connected to a security system, contact your provider ahead of time to deactivate or remove sensors. You can usually reinstall them after the job is complete.
4. Cover Your Floors and Furniture
Though EcoView installers take great care to protect your home, adding a dust sheet or drop cloth over nearby furniture and flooring can add an extra layer of protection.
5. Keep Kids and Pets Safe
Window installation requires tools and open access points. For safety, plan to keep children and pets in a separate part of the house during the project.
6. Make Space Outside
If installers need access to windows from the exterior, trim any shrubs or plants that may be in the way, and move outdoor furniture if necessary.
Final Tip:
Our EcoView team always performs thorough cleanup and walkthrough after installation. But by taking these steps beforehand, you’ll help ensure the process is smooth, efficient, and hassle-free.
