How to Prepare for Your Window Installation

The installation of your new U.S. Windows can dramatically improve and change your home. New window installation can bring more light into your home, air flow, as well as decrease your heating and cooling costs. Not to mention add comfort and curb appeal as well. We provide fast and efficient window installation for your home, whether you’re in Atlanta, Marietta, Lilburn, Alpharetta, Roswell, or anywhere throughout North Georgia. Prior to your installation, these few steps can ensure a smoother and more pleasant experience on installation day:

  • Please take down all window treatments. This will prevent any possible damage to your curtains, blinds and trinkets around your window areas.
  • Clear the way—the less obstacles between your windows and our installer, the better results we will all have. Please remove anything from inside or outside your house that could be damaged or be an obstacle during the installation process. This means moving the desk, bed, or dresser (and anything else) that might be within a two (2)- foot area around to any windows that is to be replaced. This will ensure NOTHING gets damaged or broken during the installation process.
  • Security systems—if not previously discussed during the sales process, please inform your installation crew upon arrival of how you would like to handle the window contacts and wiring on your existing windows. In most cases, we will pull and leave all alarm wiring exposed for your home security provider to work with for the new window contacts.

With a little help from you, we will work hard to provide all of our customers a smooth and easy-going installation experience. Please call our office with any questions you may about how to prepare for your installation, 770-217-1229 option 2.

Vinyl Siding vs. Painting

Vinyl siding is a low maintenance option for beautifying your home’s exterior. Although it may seem more expensive than paint, painting your home can actually be the more costly of the two. When you paint your home, it will typically last 4-7 years at most. This means more $20+ gallons of paint, the decision to hire a painter or do the job yourself, and countless hours of labor, only to repeat the process 4-7 years from now. But with vinyl siding, you can put the paintbrush away. Not only does it cost less than paint in the long run, but you can also count on having a lifetime of virtually no maintenance.

Installing vinyl siding is better than painting your home because:

  • Your siding’s color is the same throughout its thickness. Therefore it will not fade.
  • Siding will block out moisture, preventing climate damage such as mold and other allergens from forming
  • Siding is very durable since it is not only impervious to rain, but also salt, termites and other damaging insects. It will also never rust or peel.
  • It does not catch fire as easily as plywood or wood shake.

It is estimated that 32 percent of the U.S. siding market has chosen vinyl siding over aluminum, wood, and any other material siding. Its popularity is growing thanks to its low maintenance, cost, and durability.
