What Can You Do to Prepare for Window Replacement?



From major additions like a home office remodel to small improvements like aging-in-place upgrades, the weather and the season plays a role in determining the success of your project. This is especially true for exterior remodeling jobs such as door and window replacement. However, recent developments in manufacturing technologies and modern installation methods have made it so replacement windows can be installed just about any time of the year!

As with any type of remodel, it’s important to prepare before jumping into a window replacement project. Most of the work will be handled by the professionals you hire, but our experts at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno suggest you follow the tips below to ensure that everything goes according to plan.

Preparing for Window Replacement

Remodeling jobs usually go much faster and with fewer problems if you prepare your home beforehand. Our experts recommend sticking to this checklist when you’re getting new windows:

  • Trim back trees, shrubs and other plants that may get in the way of windows. Summer and spring make trees grow quickly, so keep this in mind should you choose to replace your windows during this time of the year.
  • Remove any treatments you have on your windows. This includes curtains, drapes and blinds. Additionally, you may also want to move or cover furniture that could create obstacles for your contractor. 
  • Secure pets in a safe area away from the work site. Likewise, if you have small children, make sure they are kept away from the work area to prevent any accidents.

What Your Contractor Will Do

Window replacement, just like any other home remodeling project, often begins with the design phase. Once all plans and schedules are finalized, you can expect the work to start right away. Depending on how many windows you plan to replace, the timeline can vary from one to three days. Once finished, your contractor will clean up any debris and leave your home as good as they found it.
