Sponsor Provided Content

How to prepare
Before your installers arrive, there are a few basic things you should do to get your home ready.
1. Move any furniture and decorations away from the window being replaced. Most professionals are used to working around home furnishings, but it never hurts to give them more space.
2. If you have young children or pets, make arrangements to keep them in a safe place away from the work area.
The installation process
The most experienced professionals will do the following on installation day to make the process easy for you:

• Review the installation plan with you.
• Cover their work area with drop cloths to help protect your space.
• Carefully remove your old windows.
• Contain their work space so there's little to no disruption to your home.
• Finish your window with interior/exterior trim, and add the necessary hardware.
• Keep you updated on the status throughout the day.
• Clean up after themselves, leaving work area cleaner than when they arrived.
• Haul away your old windows.
