It’s normal to wonder if window replacement is messy. The process can involve dust, debris, and noise, but a professional crew will take steps to keep your home clean. With proper prep and cleanup, window replacement doesn’t have to create a major mess.
Understanding the Process
Protective Measures During Construction
When it comes to window replacement, the first priority is protecting your home. We take several proactive measures to minimize mess and safeguard your belongings. Our team always comes prepared with the right tools and materials, including:
- Booties Over Shoes: To prevent tracking dirt and debris throughout your home.
- Ram Board: We cover walkways with durable protective flooring to keep them clean and safe.
- Sheet Plastic: Furniture and other items near work areas are draped with plastic to shield them from dust and debris.
While there might be some minor spillage of paint chips or debris outside—such as from old windows being removed—we do our best to contain the mess. Our goal is to leave your home looking as beautiful as it was before we arrived.
Cleaning Up After Construction
Once the installation is complete, our job isn’t over. At Bellwether, we take cleaning seriously. Here’s what you can expect during the cleanup phase:
- Interior Cleanup: Any dust or debris generated during the installation is meticulously removed from inside your home.
- Exterior Cleanup: We ensure that the outside of your property is cleared of old materials, debris, and leftover construction waste.
Our commitment to cleanliness means that you’ll walk back into a home that feels refreshed and put back together, not like a construction zone.
How Long Does Window Replacement Take?
The timeline for window replacement depends on the size of the project. For smaller jobs, it may take just a couple of days, while larger projects with 30 or more windows can take a few weeks. On average, we install between 5 to 10 windows per day, depending on the complexity of the work.
No matter the size of your project, we’re equipped to handle it efficiently and with care. Whether you need five windows replaced or forty-five, we’ll ensure the job is done right.
How to Prepare for Window Replacement
Preparing your home for window replacement helps us work more efficiently while protecting your belongings. Here’s how you can get your home ready:
- Remove Wall Decorations: Take down any pictures, mirrors, or other wall hangings near the windows being replaced.
- Move Furniture: Keep furniture at least three feet away from any access points and work areas.
- Store Valuables: If there are fragile or important items near windows, put them in a safe place to avoid accidents.
- Clear Window Areas: Remove blinds, curtains, and other coverings to give our team easy access to the windows.
These simple steps ensure a smoother process and help us focus on delivering high-quality results.
