If you're going to have new windows installed in your home and you're preparing for installation day, don't forget about your kids. If you have young kids who will be home during the installation, arrange to send them somewhere else for the day. Here are just four of the reasons why you owe it to yourself, your installation crew, and your kids to arrange for child care on installation day.

Keep Your Kids Safe From Accidents

If you have young children, they shouldn't be at home while your new windows are being installed. The contractors will be busy removing old windows and replacing them with the new ones. That means there will be a lot of exposed glass around your home. Unfortunately, each window presents a safety risk for your young children, especially if they're running around the house. Keep your kids safe from accidents by having a friend or family member take them for the day.

Give the Crew One Less Thing to Worry About

As described above, your installation crew is going to be busy with your windows. They'll want to get the installation taken care of as quickly and safely as possible. They won't be able to do that if they're worried about where your kids are located. Unfortunately, delays in the installation will increase the cost of the project for you, especially if the crew needs to stay on the clock longer than expected. You can give the crew one less thing to worry about and speed up the project by making sure that your kids aren't at home when your new windows are installed.

Make Yourself Available to the Installers

If you're having windows installed in your home, you need to be available for the installers, especially if they have questions about the installation. Not only that, but you'll want to make sure that the windows are installed to your specifications. Unfortunately, if your kids are at home, you'll need to be focused on their needs and not on the window installation. You can make sure your kids have the care they need and focus on the installation by arranging for childcare.

Prevent Bouts of Boredom

If you've got young kids, you know how short their attention span is. Unfortunately, if you've got contractors installing your new windows, you can't leave to take your kids to the park. That's where the added help comes in handy. When you arrange for someone to take your kids while your windows are being installed, you can prevent those bouts of boredom.
