Here are the top 5 questions and answers to help you ***prepare your schedule and home for your upcoming home improvement project***: #### [How to Prepare for Window Installation?](#5dtm2kpa5dtm2kpa0) By preparing for your installation date, you will save yourself a lot of running around and help the project run smoothly. In the days before your scheduled installation, ***clear a path to each window that will be replaced, both inside and out***. Protect your belongings and furnishings to make a safe workspace by removing obstacles: - **Inside** move/remove household items like furniture, rugs, window coverings and pictures or wall hangings to provide plenty of space for the installer and the necessary equipment. - **Outside** move outdoor furniture, flowerpots and plan ahead to have other obstacles including vines, flowerbeds or hedges trimmed back or temporarily removed from around the windows to provide easy access. - **Pets** should be safely secured away from the project to keep them protected and calm. - **Children** should also be kept away from the work areas for their safety. - **Drop cloths** will be laid down to protect your flooring and larger furnishings. ***Our respectful window installation experts will take every precaution to ensure your home and possessions are not harmed or damaged in any way***. #### [Do I Need a Construction Permit for Window Replacement?](#5dtm2kpa5dtm2kpa1) In Arizona, residential construction permits are only needed when you are remodeling your home or adding an addition. Your** Energy Shield installation expert* will detail, when applicable, who will be responsible for permits***. It is also a good idea to*** check with your neighborhood HOA*** to make sure that your home improvement project aligns with their rules, regulations, and bylaws. #### [What is Your Installation Process?](#5dtm2kpa5dtm2kpa2) - First, the old window and framing materials are removed. - Next, the installer will replace the framing and shims, as needed. - The installer will then fit the new window into place and ensure it is level and square. - Flashing nails will secure the new window in place; then the waterproof lining is applied. - The critical final step is adding additional insulation and caulking around the window. - Your installer will ensure the window is fully sealed and properly seated. - As the project comes to a close, the crew will perform a full clean-up and haul away your old windows. #### [How Long Will Installation Take?](#5dtm2kpa5dtm2kpa3) Timing for the entire project is determined by the number of windows to be removed and replaced. On average, ***each window will take a few hours with the removal of the old window and materials and installation of the new window***. From start to finish, you can ***expect a full home window replacement project to follow a two to a three-day timeline***. However, if there are unexpected circumstances like additional repairs or uncooperative weather that may delay the completion date. #### [What Can Extend the Project?](#5dtm2kpa5dtm2kpa4) Rest assured that ***our streamlined installation process accounts for foreseen obstacles***, but there are times that unexpected circumstances may extend an installation's timeline.
