After deciding to pursue window replacement in Toronto, ON, visiting window shops to compare products, and then buying what you want, you’ll need to get them installed.
You can count on the retailer to install the windows for a fee. But when the day comes for the workers to do the install job, there are things you should do to facilitate the process. What follows is a look at how you can ensure that the installation process goes off without a hitch.
Address Interior Clutter
As you can imagine, the installers will need adequate space to remove your old windows and to install your new windows. So if windows are being installed in your living room or family room, take a quick look around to see what furniture or other things might possibly get in the way. You might have to relocate your sofa, bookcase, piano, coffee table or other things. It’s best to clear the way for the workers before they arrive at your residence to avoid unnecessary delay.
Address Exterior Clutter
After you’ve cleared the interior clutter, head outside and get rid of the exterior clutter. This is important if any ground-level windows are being replaced. If things like hedges are in the way, trim them as best you can. If lawn equipment is in the way, move it to the garage or to a shed. Again, do this before the installers arrive. Failing to do so will contribute to unnecessary delay.
Restrain Pets
Your dog or cat might be the friendliest animal alive, but you can be certain that the installers won’t want it getting in their way during an installation job. Leaving your pets to wonder around can also present a safety problem – both for the installers and for your pet. On the one hand, installers might find it more difficult to work safely if they must ever be on the lookout for where your dog may be. On the other hand, your cat might get injured if it’s lounging in a work area.
Make it Easy for Them to Get in
In the Great White North, you never know what type of weather you’ll be in for during the winter season. The weather forecast might say one thing – but Mother Nature might deliver something else entirely. It’s best, therefore, to be ready. If there’s a lot of snow on the ground, be sure to plow, shovel or snow-blow your driveway and walkway. This will help to keep the workers safe.
