If you have chosen your windows and scheduled an installation time for the Hidden Valley, CA window replacement to take place, hold tight to the calendar. You’re going to need a little bit of time to put your house in order before the installation takes place. As you schedule the installer to come with your new windows, give yourself a few hours before they arrive (or the weekend before) to get everything set up in the best possible manner. The installation will go faster and smoother if you take a look at this checklist and mark the to-dos off before the windows arrive  

Remove Pictures From The Walls 

Any wall that has a window on it is vulnerable to quite a bit of action. The installers move with care, but taking a window out and putting a new one in is going to jar any wall. Take the pictures or artwork off any wall that has a window on it and store them away with care.  

Remove Window Coverings 

Installers need uninhibited access to your windows and that means getting the window coverings out of the way. If you have curtains, now is a good time to remove them, clean them, and then replace them once the windows are in. You could also use this time to get new window coverings to accent the new windows that are about to go in.  

Move Furniture Away From Windows 

If you have a couch in front of the windows or a bed up against that wall, move those things away from the windows while they go in. The installers will need a wide berth around the windows to do their job in the easiest possible manner.  

Clear A Walkway 

Installers will also need to get windows in and out of your home and to the spot where they need to be installed. If you have a table in the entryway that makes things tight, move it to another room and pick up rugs and things installers might trip over. Get the walkway from the door to the rooms that need windows cleared up and ready to go.  

Create A Safe Haven For Pets 

Pets get awfully scared by the noise and the new people milling around the house. If you can have your pet stay at a friends for a night or two while the window replacement installation takes place, that might be best. Otherwise, prepare a spot for them in the laundry room, a bathroom, or somewhere else safe without windows that will keep them sequestered and out of the way during the process.

Tip 1: Hire A Reputable Window Company 

One of the biggest things you can do to make a difference in your project is to work with a reputable window company.

Tip 2: Educate Yourself 

Finding professionals to help you understand the ins and outs of replacement windows can certainly help, but it’s nice to know what ratings and labels mean on your own so you can do some comparisons without asking for aid. Study the ratings labels and get to know words like U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient so you know what the labels are trying to tell you about the windows you are considering. You can also ask for reminders if you forget something, but having the basic knowledge will only help you along the way.  

Tip 3: Get Only What You Need 

There are always going to be options and upgrades, but to get it all with your replacement windows, get only what you need. Think about what you want for your home and what fits into your lifestyle. Getting what you need and not wasting on extras that just cost more, but don’t really do that much for your specific set up, is in your best interest. This stems back to the company you hire to work with you. Reputable companies won’t try to push you into extra options you don’t really need. In fact, they might steer you away from things you think you might need, but don’t.

It’s simple to find deals on virtually anything you want. If you’re about to order something online, you never dare commit to the purchase until you have run a search for a coupon code. There are plenty of stores that will match deals from other stores—you just have to find them. And there are still those that get newspapers and clip actual coupons. When you are in the market for replacement windows in Tarzana, CA, you won’t see a coupon in the newspaper or a code online, but there are still deals to be found. Use these ideas and get the best deal you can find on the right windows for your home. 

Remember Quantity Rules 

If you buy one single item in the store, it costs a certain amount. If you go to a big store and buy that same item in bulk, it’s going to cost you less per item. You may not need 1,000 bottles of ketchup, but you can save per bottle if you do. The same concept is true with replacement windows. You might think that you are better off buying one window at a time, as you can afford them, and having them replaced. In reality, the better deal comes when you buy a bunch of windows at once. It’s more cost-effective to get all of the windows in your house done at once. You only pay for installation once and you get a better deal on the base window prices as well. 

Don’t Forget Long-Term Quality 

It’s easy to compare windows based on their price tags, but that’s not in your best interest. You will get the best deal when you look at the larger picture. Windows are about their prices, sure, because your budget matters, but you also need to think about quality, both now and into the future.

When looking at windows in Woodland Hills, CA, you know you want something that looks nice on your home and something that will increase energy efficiency, but do you know what you deserve to go along with it? Customer service. Customer service is almost a lost art these days. You can buy almost anything you want on the internet without interacting with anyone at all. And when you do get a phone call, it’s a telemarketer and you don’t want that type of service at all. But when you are trying to replace the windows in your house, you definitely need professional help. And you deserve to get nothing but the best customer service with that. As you start the process, ask yourself these questions when you approach companies to help you.  

How Was That First Phone Call? 

First impressions run deep, and a window company will never have a second to make a first impression on you. When you call them for the first time, have a few questions prepared and ask them. How are you treated over the phone? Do they take time to talk to you politely and show you courtesy and respect? Do they answer your questions thoroughly and give you all of the information you need? You’ll get a gut feeling about a company just based on that first interaction and you will often be right about what you feel.  

How Are Their Time Skills? 

One of the first things you will do after the initial phone call is have a representative come to your house to look over your current windows and situation. They might take measurements, inspect your old windows, and figure out what goals your house might need to reach. When they set up an appointment with you, were they on time? Did they get through the steps efficiently without taking up all of your day? Were they friendly and did they answer your questions? These answers will come in priceless later. Companies that are late or gruff with you aren’t worth your efforts. 

Do They Get Back To You? 

Once you start working with a representative to find the right windows or arrange an installation, the time might come to call and leave them a message or shoot them an email. How soon do they get back to you? Do you have to wait around for days or it is usually only a matter of hours? The best customer service comes with prompt responses.
