Planning a window replacement project isn’t just about choosing the color palette, the materials, and the installation dates. Logistics, which, in this case, involves coordinating with the contractor, is an equally important element.
Let Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta share with you these questions to ask a window replacement contractor when preparing for a project.
When will the installation dates be?
Picking the installation date is not as easy as picking a free weekend on your calendar. While our window installations typically take just a day, you have to account for the entire household’s schedule. Also, the installation team will need indoor access to every room where the windows will be installed. For example, if a nursery or home office is among these rooms, make prior arrangements for a relative to take care of the baby for a day or two or reserve temporary office space on the installation date, respectively.
How big will the installation team be?
The number of installers depends on the size of the window replacement project. Nevertheless, you should know how many installers there will be. You may need to ask a neighbor if the truck can be parked across the street if you have limited parking space. Our consultants and team leaders will coordinate with you early on so you can make preparations ahead of time.
Which areas will you need to work in?
To prevent any accidental breakage or tracking dirt in the house, you know where the work areas will be. In case of window replacements, it’s safe to assume about three feet around the wall openings as reasonable clearance. Move the furniture out of the way, put valuables and anything breakable in a safe place, and clearly delineate the straightest path from the door to the work areas. Our installation team will then cover these areas with drop cloths on installation day and thoroughly clean the work areas afterward. It will be as if the windows have magically installed themselves.
