Seasoned homeowners will tell you that remodeling projects can be stressful, even ones as straightforward as replacement window installation. But, it doesn’t mean that you can’t reduce stress levels.
Here are several ways to do so during a remodeling project:
-
Be familiar with the process – Clients are, of course, not expected to do any installation work. Still, familiarizing yourself with the installation process can help you anticipate possible “stress points” and prepare for them. This is why our installation process is outlined in detail on our website, as it gives our clients an idea of what to expect during installation. Plus, we’ll also be happy to answer questions at any time during installation.
-
Anticipate delays – Delayed projects, whether talking about hours or days, are something that homeowners do not want to hear. Certain factors like extreme weather, or preexisting conditions that require extensive repair, can cause delays. This is where hiring the right window company comes in. A reliable company will make every effort to finish the project on time. If we do get delayed, you have our assurance at Renewal by Andersen® that you’ll be at the top of our priority list before we move to the next job.
-
Do research on the project cost – We’re sure even those who like surprises won’t appreciate surprise expenses. Knowing the ballpark cost of a window replacement project can help you be prepared once you receive the written estimate. Remember that you will also need to add another 10% to 20% of the project cost for unexpected repairs and other incidental expenses. Fortunately, we offer a wide range of financing options to suit every budgetary concern.
-
Manage project changes – While not the most ideal situation, changes to a project midway are not that rare. Changes have to be signed off by yourself or by a person that you nominate and authorize if you’re not available. To ensure a smooth change process, you should establish the change procedure before the project starts. We maintain transparency with our clients by tracking changes in writing.
-
Keep communication lines open – In addition to the change procedure, exchange numbers with our installation team leader on the first day of installation. Better yet, exchange email or messenger usernames in case you have to exchange images and documents. We know that suspense can be stressful. Be assured that when you hire Renewal by Andersen, you can expect exceptional results even if you wouldn’t have time keep tabs on us.
