To help you prepare for your next project, here are some tips from NEXT Door & Window:

Prepare Your Home Before the Crew Arrives

Most contractors will prepare the workspace once they arrive, but you can also do your share in preparing your home. Before they install your Downers Grove replacement windows, make sure you clear the path to the area where they will install these units. This small gesture will play a minor but much appreciated role in accelerating the project.

Aside from clearing space inside your home, you can also allot a parking space for the crew’s vehicle. You can also allot space in your yard for the equipment.

Expect the Messy Workplace

Replacing windows involves removal of your old unit followed by stripping, sanding, and measuring. This can lead to a dusty work area, so professionals like NEXT Door & Window will make sure the area is spotless after the project. If you want to keep the dust away from other areas of your home, you can place drop cloths or plastic sheets to filter any debris.
