How to Prepare Your Home for a Window Replacement

Damaged windows are a typical reason to seek window replacement. However, you don't have to wait for your existing windows to become inoperable to pursue this project. Whether you're looking to improve energy efficiency in your home or want to give your property a visual makeover, window replacement can help you achieve your home improvement goals.

At Renewal by Andersen® of Kentucky, we're a top local window company with a professional, start-to-finish process that will help you achieve beautiful, energy-efficient, professionally installed windows that will last for years. Here's what you need to do to prepare your home before the project begins:

Remove Unnecessary Decorations

Remove decorations and other unnecessary items from the work area that could interfere with the installers as they work on your replacement windows. By removing decorations from the windows, the contractors will be able to work more efficiently and more quickly.

Clear the Area

Clear the area where installers will pass through. If furniture is in the way, remove it beforehand if you are able to. If you need help moving heavy items, your installers can aid you with this when they arrive, but the more you can clear yourself ahead of time, the more smoothly the project will go.

Discuss Mess Prevention With Your Contractor

Before the work begins, talk to your contractor about what they will be doing to protect your home from damage. Professional contractors should wear shoe covers so they don't track dirt into your home, and they should cover the surrounding area with tarps or drop cloths to prevent dust from accumulating on surfaces. If you have any concerns about the process, don't hesitate to voice these with your contractor ahead of time.

As a window expert, we offer a wide range of window styles, all of which can be customized. If your home has large rooms, consider installing bay windows. They can make a bold statement, while giving you a panoramic view of the outdoors.
