Replacing the windows in your home can offer several benefits, such as improved energy efficiency and enhanced curb appeal. However, without proper preparation, the entire process can be a bit messy. In this blog post, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania shares tips and tricks to help you stay on top of the mess during window replacement.
Plan Ahead
Start by scheduling the window installation at a convenient time when you can be around to oversee the process. You should also clear the area around the windows by removing any furniture, decorations and window treatments before the installers arrive. Don’t forget to cover any remaining furniture and floors with drop cloths or plastic sheets to protect them from dust and debris.
Communicate With the Window Installers
Make sure to talk with your window installers about your concerns regarding the mess. They will likely have a cleanup process, but discussing specific expectations or requests is a good idea. Additionally, ask if they can clean as they go to help minimize the amount of cleanup needed at the end of the project.
Keep a Cleanup Kit Handy
During the window replacement process, it’s a good idea to stock up on cleaning supplies, such as dust cloths, a vacuum cleaner and trash bags. This way, you can quickly clean up any mess and dispose of debris in a designated area or container.
Inspect the Work
Once the replacement windows are installed, take the time to check their work. Look for any damage or issues with the new windows and ensure the installers have cleaned up properly. If you have any concerns, address them with the installation company to ensure your satisfaction with the project.
