What You Should And Shouldn’t Do During Window Installation

When you choose the replacement windows in Sacramento, CA you want, the final step is to get the windows installed. Installation isn’t a quiet, completely clean process. In fact, it can be rather loud and dusty. As you plan your day around what’s going to be happening in your home, here are some things you should and shouldn’t do when the windows are going in.

Avoid Important Calls

If you want to call a friend to chat, fine. But if you need to take a business call, you will want to do so in a location outside of your home, away from your yard so you aren’t interrupted by the noise. It’s best to keep the important calls for another day, if at all possible.

Organize Files

When you are stuck at home for the day, there are probably plenty of projects you could take on that you never have time for otherwise. Use this day to do things like organize cabinets, files, drawers, and more. It’s a good use of your time so you won’t feel like the day is wasted.

Avoid Huge Cleaning Sprees

It’s tempting to clean things in your house that you never get a chance to clean, but keep in mind that while installers will take the big chunks of dirt with them, a fine layer of dust will be left behind across your home’s surfaces. You don’t need to clean a bunch of things that are going to get dusty again. Leave the cleaning for after the installation is complete.

Get Fresh Air

When installers are in your home, things are going to get noisy and you might notice more dust flying around than normal. While you will want to stay close in case they need anything from you, there’s no reason you can’t enjoy the nice day, read a book on the porch, garden in the backyard, or take the dog (who’s probably very nervous from the commotion) for a walk around the block.

Don’t Bother Baking

Unless the installers are working in another part of the home that is sealed off from the kitchen, it’s best to leave your baking creations for another day. You don’t want the dust and debris to get into the batter and you don’t want to be in the middle of something when they need access to that space.
