Upgrading your home with impact windows is a smart decision. These windows improve your property’s safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. As installation day approaches, you might wonder what the process involves and how to prepare. In this guide, Prestige Windows & Doors explains what to expect on installation day..
Pre-Installation Preparations
Before the installation team arrives, take a few simple steps to ensure a smooth process. First, make sure there is clear access to each window—both inside and outside your home. This may mean moving furniture, removing curtains or blinds, and trimming plants or bushes that block the area. Next, protect your floors and nearby furniture. Use drop cloths or plastic sheets to guard against dust and debris.
Because window installation can get messy, preparing in advance keeps your home clean and prevents accidental damage.
Arrival and Initial Inspection
On installation day, the Prestige Windows & Doors team will arrive ready to begin work. They will start with a final inspection of your windows and the designated installation areas. During this step, you can ask any last-minute questions about the process.
The installers will also review the project plan with you to make sure everyone is on the same page. This step ensures a clear understanding of the timeline and expectations before installation begins.
The Installation Process
Installing impact windows requires precision and attention to detail.
The team will first remove your old windows carefully to avoid damaging the surrounding walls. Once removed, they will prepare the opening for the new windows. Minor adjustments may be made to ensure a perfect fit.
After preparation, the new impact windows are installed and securely fastened in place. The installers make sure each window is level and tightly sealed against the elements.
They also use high-quality materials for insulation and sealing, which improves your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
Because of their experience, the team ensures your windows not only enhance safety but also reduce energy costs.
Final Checks and Cleanup
After installation, the team performs a detailed inspection to confirm everything works properly. They check the seals, insulation, and window operation to verify smooth opening and closing. If adjustments are needed, they are handled immediately.
Once all checks are complete, cleanup begins. The team removes all dust, debris, and leftover materials, leaving your home spotless.
Finally, you’ll receive helpful care and maintenance tips to keep your new windows in top shape for years to come.
What to Do After Installation
After the installation and cleanup, inspect the completed work with the team leader. This is your chance to ask questions, review the results, and learn about warranty coverage. You can also discuss any follow-up services or maintenance plans available for your new impact windows.
Because proper care ensures long-lasting performance, it’s best to clarify all details before the team leaves.
