29-023 PREPARING FOR YOUR NEW WINDOWS AND DOORS Congratulations on your decision to increase the comfort level, value and appearance of your home. To maximize your investment and enable the installation to take place as smoothly as possible, we have created this handout to acquaint you with what to expect when our installers arrive. 1. Expected Delivery Time. All of our windows are custom made at one of our manufacturing plants located around the country and shipped to any of our over 200 Window World locations. The time between when your order is placed and when the windows are ready to be installed, though not guaranteed is typically 6 to 8 weeks. At that point we will call you to set an installation date. If for some reason you need to delay your installation for more than a couple of weeks after notification that we are ready to install your order we will be happy to work with you. We will need to collect the remaining balance before installation if the delay you request is more than three weeks. 2. Access to the Windows and Doors. We will need approximately 2 feet in front of each window, inside your home, so we can place our drop cloths and tools necessary to perform our work. When the old windows are removed, gusts of wind typically flow through your home. It is advisable to gather together important papers, and other small items that can be disturbed by the wind and relocate them. Computers and other electronic equipment should be covered or relocated temporarily. Please move aside any furnishings that are in the way of our work. If any furniture items are too heavy to move easily, we will gladly assist you. 3. Window Coverings. To gain access to the interior of the windows, we need all mini blinds, vertical blinds, roll -up shades, shutters, drapes and any other window covering removed prior to our installation. We are not responsible for removing or reinstallation of these items and are not responsible for damage resulting in the removal and reinstallation. We also are not responsible for any window covering alterations that may be required to reinstall them. 4. Plants and Bushes. Occasionally we need to work in planters and other landscaped areas of your home that are adjacent to the windows and doors. Please survey your yard prior to us arriving and look for potential problems. Some trees and vigorous bushes need to be pruned back to give us access to your windows. Delicate plants and shrubs in areas right below a window should be temporarily relocated if they cannot survive being stepped on and you want to preserve them. We strive to be careful when working around vegetation, but our priorities are to focus on our work, your windows and our safety while working on your property. We are not responsible for any damage to plants, shrubs or landscaped areas. 5. Arrival and Departure Times. We will advise you of the expected arrival time for our crew at the time we set up the installation date with you. We generally stay till the job is done, unless it will be a 2 or 3 -day job, in which case we may work as long as there is daylight. It is our policy that our installers get a sign -off form and collect the outstanding balance at the completion of the job. We ask that you be available to approve the job and make final payment at the time of completion. If this is not convenient for you, we need to know before we start the job. Inclement weather and other unforeseen hindrances are a fact of life and as such we ask that you understand if the weather, traffic, etc. cause a delay or cancellation of an installation appointment. We typically do not schedule more than a day or two in advance to try to avoid such issues. 6. Our Worksite. We like to set up our worksite as close to your windows and doors as possible and generally your driveway is the best spot. If using the driveway will block a garaged car, please be ready to pull it out upon arrival. 7. Alarm Systems. For those of you who have alarm systems, the alarm company should be notified and advised of our job. They will be responsible for the disconnection and reconnection of your alarm system. 8. Where do we start? Upon arrival, the crew leader will survey the job and determine where to begin. If you have a preference, feel free to advise us and we will accommodate to the best of our ability. Because we work in stages (i.e., removal of old windows, setting the new window, wrapping of exterior, etc.), we don't complete the job one window at a time. The job moves along in a rolling progression where each operation is done on all windows at the same time. This produces a quality job. 9. If the job takes more than a day, will there be any openings in my house? Of course not. We only remove that which can be reinstalled in the same day. Although there may not be a complete window, it will be weather -tight and secure for overnight. (Please no critiquing at this time). 10. Pets. We love furry, four - legged creatures; however, we need your help in supervising them. We are not always able to close a gate or door behind us when carrying a window, so please keep them in a safe place. Our job description does not include scampering down the street after Fido with new found freedom. Many people say, don't worry, he doesn't bite, but many installers have been bitten. So please secure dogs that have an aggressive bark towards strangers. 11. Expect some dust, noise and general disruption of your living space. Construction work can sometimes be messy depending upon the scope of your job. It's an unfortunate reality of remodeling, but we do our best to keep things under control. We appreciate your patience and understanding during the job and until everything is finished. Even after we have cleaned up, it is advisable to survey the areas for something we may have overlooked (i.e., kids rooms, baby's room). 12. *Damage to walls and old trim stops. For those of you who have old aluminum and steel windows and are replacing them due to sweating and damaging of the walls be advised that all water damage plaster will most likely fall out. In addition, all the patch work you have done over the years will fall out also. This is normal; however, we are not plaster experts, so the repair to those walls would best be left to the experts. In some cases due to out of square openings, new trim is required to make the window look good. *Unless noted on the contract new trim will not be provided or installed by us. You can expect to do some touch up painting on the trim after the installation of your new windows. This is not always necessary and is usually minor if it occurs. If your trim stops around your sashes are very old, dry, and brittle, they may snap and crack upon removal. If this happens, we can leave them off if you please, or for a small up charge, replace them with newer ones. Many of the old style stops are no longer available so we would replace the entire window with newer style stops. Should we discover any hidden damage to the frame or wall area we will advise you before we proceed. Should you decide to replace or repair anything, the price will be added to your balance. 13. Relax and enjoy the show. After we've been introduced to your home, feel free to run errands, take a walk, or just relax. If a question should arise; by all means ask the crew leader for clarification. We enjoy people who are interested in what we do, and most customers are intrigued with the process. We do get nervous, however, when a customer constantly hovers over our shoulder. Like any professional, we're always happy to answer questions, but we appreciate being able to concentrate on our work without interruptions and distractions. This ensures a safe and quality installation. 14. Past Due Balances are subject to a service charge of 1.5% per month. In the event that this amount is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, the purchaser agrees to pay all costs of collection, including a reasonable attorney fee. Return check fee is $50 (fifty dollars). Salesperson Home Owner P.S. Now would be a good time to review contract with the salesman to be sure of your order options and work to be done. Only the items and services on the contract will be done. If you have any questions whatsoever, now is the time to ask.
