Have you finally resolved to get rid of those old windows and replace them with the new ones? Congratulations. You have made the right decision towards reducing energy costs and making your home more comfortable. The entire process of window replacement can be daunting, but if you make the right preparations, everything becomes easy, and the process takes less time than you imagined.

 

Whether you have decided to DIY or you are considering to hire a professional installer to install your new Barrie windows, you need to do some prep work before the project starts. That will get the project running smoothly and avoid some unnecessary confusions. Here are a few things you should do to get ready for the window installation project.

It is true that irrespective of how you schedule the time for Barrie windows replacement project, it is going to bring some inconveniences to your family. However, you can minimise the inconveniences by arranging for pets and children to go and spend time somewhere else away from home. 

It is advisable to schedule for the entire replacement job rather than doing it in bits. That ensures the project goes faster and efficiently, hence save time.

You need to create clear ways both in the inside and outside near the windows to be replaced. You want to get rid of the plants, furniture, rugs, and anything that may obstruct the installer from moving from one place to another freely.

Some things you need to remove include the landscape features, patio furniture, and decorations around the windows.

Now that you have cleared the path, the second step is to get rid of window treatments such as shades, curtains, and sheers. However, if you are doing retrofit window replacement Barrie, you can leave the window covering. 

However, if you are doing full-frame replacement windows Barrie project, you need to remove all the window treatments, including any artwork and photos suspended on the walls. If left, they might get dirty from the airborne particles in the process of installation.

If you are carrying out the entire home replacement project, you might find it challenging to get a place to store your belongings during the replacement. Some of the options you might have to include storing your belongings in basement, garage, or renting a movable space. 

 The movable spaces come in different sizes and will be delivered to your home. Getting a proper place to store your goods is essential to avoid loss of your property during the process. You also make sure they are protected from damage by water or breakages. 

If you need to hire a space, make it earlier, and schedule when it will be delivered to your home before the process commences.
