You’ve spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into getting replacement windows in Shaver Lake, CA and now, all you have to do is get them installed. Ordering the windows is exciting because it means you’re close to the results you want. Once you make the payment and the windows are on the way, the countdown is on. Here are some things to do as you wait for that countdown to get to zero.
Remove The Wall Hangings
If you have pictures up on the walls that also have windows on them, you will want to take those down. The pictures might shake and rattle as windows are removed and replaced. They could even fall off and break. You don’t want anything to become damaged to removing the pictures and putting them somewhere flat and safe is a good move.
Take Down Window Coverings
In order for the installers to get to the windows, they will want all of the window coverings to be out of the way. Once the coverings are down, you can save them and put them back up over the new windows. Or, some homeowners find this as a good chance to make a change and get something new in that area as well. Either way, the coverings have to be down and out of the way.
Move Furniture
If you have a bed that juts up against the windows, or a couch that shares a wall with a set of windows, you will need to move those things farther away from those areas so the installers can easily get to the windows and take them out and replace them. Also clear a path from the door to each window area. That might mean you have to move an overstuffed chair that makes the path between the couch and the coffee table rather small. Try to look at it from the installers’ perspective and move what you can to make the process easier on them.
Examine Power
Installers may very well need access to power outlets so you might want to uncover some of those as well. If you have lots of things plugged in, remove those plugs since you won’t need the lamps and other items while the installation happens, anyway.
Make A Plan For Yourself
Another thing to think of is what you are going to do yourself while the installation is happening. You don’t have to be at home during the installation, but it is nice if you are there in case the installers have questions. Think about some out of the way projects you can work on at home while the installation takes place. You might be grateful for that time at home.
