How Should I Prepare My Home Before the Window Crew Shows Up?
Clear furniture, blinds, curtains, and anything breakable away from each window opening on both the interior and exterior side before the crew arrives. Move vehicles out of the driveway and clear a direct path from the street or driveway to each opening being worked on, since crews need room to stage materials and remove old frames. Secure pets in a separate part of the house or arrange for them to be elsewhere, since doors and openings will be open to the outside during parts of the day. Take down wall art or fragile items near the work area, as vibration from removing old frames can shake adjoining walls. If you have window treatments mounted with brackets, decide ahead of time whether you'll remount them yourself or want them reinstalled. A few hours of prep on your end keeps the job moving smoothly once the crew gets started.
