Do I need to be home during window installation?

Yes, you should plan to be home during window installation, though you don't need to hover over the installers throughout the entire process. Your presence is important for several practical and safety reasons.

Why being home matters: You'll need to provide access to your home, discuss any last-minute details or concerns with the installation team, and be available to approve the work before they leave. Professional installers will also want to walk you through the completed installation, explain warranty information, and ensure you're satisfied with the work. If any unexpected issues arise during installation - like discovering rotted framing that needs repair - you'll need to make decisions about how to proceed.

What to expect during the process: Window installation typically takes 1-3 hours per window, depending on the complexity and whether any structural repairs are needed. The installers will protect your floors and furniture, but you may want to move valuable items away from work areas beforehand. In Ottawa's climate, timing is especially important - installers work efficiently to minimize heat loss during winter installations, but your home will be temporarily exposed to outside temperatures.

Practical considerations: You don't need to watch every step, but being available in your home allows you to ask questions, ensure the work meets your expectations, and handle any payment or paperwork at completion. Many homeowners use installation day as an opportunity to learn about their new windows' features and maintenance requirements.
