How To Prepare Your Home For Replacement Windows

How To Prepare Your Springville, UT
Home For Replacement Windows

You’re Ready For A New Look:
Make Sure Your Home Is, Too!

RGS Exteriors has been installing replacement windows in Springville, UT for five generations. One of the questions we get is: what can I do to prepare?

While most of the process will be in your RGS Exteriors professional installer’s hands, there are a few things that homeowners can do to give themselves more peace of mind beforehand.

Clear The Space Around Your Springville, UT
Windows: Inside And Out!

Although our installers are exceedingly careful in your home, if you have a precious vase or sculpture near the window you’re getting replaced, you may want to move it. Clearing out the space by your old windows allows our installers to move freely without risking bumping into anything.

In addition to moving decorations or covering furnishings, we recommend clearing the space outside your window. If your window overlooks a patio, for example, clearing up lawn chairs, toys, or other furniture can give your installer easier access to the window.

Or, if you have a shrub or plant in the way, creating a path to the old window is much appreciated. This can also be extremely important if our installers are working on ladders outside your home, as we need to ensure that these ladders can be secured appropriately.

Remove The Blinds And Alarms
From Your Windows Before
Your Window Installation

Taking down window blinds can add a surprisingly long time to your window replacement installation. Not to mention, if you have window alarms, they can be a hassle to disconnect. Some homeowners may need to call their security company, while others with smart home features can disarm them with their phones.

Regardless of which kind of alarm or blinds you have, we recommend taking some time to do this before your installer arrives.

Move Pets And Children Away From
Your Springville, UT Windows

The installation area can be a safety hazard for pets and kids. Sometimes there may be tools that a young child could think is a toy, or debris that you simply don’t want your dog or cat getting into.

Once you know what day your window is going to be installed, you can prepare to have your animals or children out of the house or in another room that day. For some homeowners, this might be as simple as closing the door to the living room and saying it’s off-limits.

For others, they may want to ask a friend or family member to watch their children until the project is complete. This is entirely up to you and can depend upon the length and extent of the window replacement.

Understand The Maintenance Of Your
Replacement Windows

Whether before or after installation, RGS Exteriors is happy to walk you through your new windows, from framing to glass. We want your windows to look like new for years to come, and with that comes routine upkeep like cleaning. To better understand what your window needs, we recommend talking to our expert installers.

If you have questions after your installation is complete, don’t hesitate to ask. We offer a lifetime warranty on our windows because we’re confident that every product we carry is built to stand the test of time. If something happens, whether it’s a problem with your installation or the window itself, we want to know so we can fix it and take accountability.

We know the job isn’t done simply because we’ve left your home. Reach out to RGS Exteriors at any time.
