Incorporating Windows In Your Philadelphia Home Remodel

April 10, 2017

You’ve decide–no more waiting. You’re ready to pull the trigger on that home project you’ve been thinking of for months. But before you start doing any DIY work or invite one of the best Philadelphia remodelers in, you should make sure you’re planning out everything effectively–especially in regards to how you’ll incorporate windows and window treatments such as shutters into your project.

We’ve gathered some tips on what you should do before, during, and after your home project to make it look phenomenal for years to come.

Realize How Important Windows Are to Your Remodel

Many remodelers will agree that windows are one of the key elements of home architecture. Windows are primarily responsible for allowing light in, which can drastically impact how a room looks in spite of any other design choice on the inside. So before your remodel starts gathering steam, think about different things you’d want to see from your windows. Would you prefer more light coming in? Do you want better control over that sunlight? Do you need better privacy or noise control?

Answering any of those questions can have a big impact on how your remodel goes, so give those questions their due diligence.

Get Your Window Treatment Provider Involved Early On

If you want new window treatments as part of your remodel, try to get your window treatment dealer in contact with your general contractor early in the process. With lots of moving parts in a home redesign, there are several benefits in getting all your contractors talking:

  • Everybody can get a project timeline in place, making the project go quicker and more smoothly.

  • Your window treatment provider can get in, take measurements, and offer ideas upfront, before any other work happens.

  • Fewer opportunities for mistakes being made in a remodel that leaves you with anything other than your dream home.

  • A more cohesive direction for the style of your remodel - giving you a better looking final product.
