Incorporating Windows In a Raleigh Remodel Project

April 10, 2017

You’ve made up your mind. You’re ready to dive into that home improvement project you’ve been thinking of for months. But before you begin with any DIY work or invite one of the best Raleigh remodelers in, you want to be sure you’re planning everything out effectively–especially in regards to how you incorporate windows and window treatments like shutters into your project.

Here’s what you should do before, during, and after your home project to make it look incredible for years and years.

Realize Why Windows Are Important to a Remodel

The majority of remodelers will agree that windows are one of the chief elements of architectural home design. Windows are primarily responsible for letting in light, which can drastically change how a room looks in spite of any other design choice on the inside. So before you start gathering steam on your home project, think about any changes you’d want to see from your windows. Could you use more light coming in? Do you want better control over that sunlight? Do you need better privacy, noise control, etc.?

Thinking about any of those questions can have a huge impact on what goes into your remodel, so give your windows some attention and the time they deserve.

Get Your Window Treatment Provider Involved Early On

If new window treatments are going to be part of your remodel, try to get your window treatment provider talking to your general contractor early on in the project. With lots of moving parts in a home improvement project, there’s a lot of benefit in getting all your contractors talking:

  • Each party can get a working timeline in place, making your home remodel go quicker and more smoothly.

  • Your window treatment provider can get in, take measurements, and offer ideas upfront, before any demolition takes place.

  • Less of a chance of mistakes made in a remodel that leaves you with something other than your dream home.

  • A more defined direction for the style of your home - resulting in a better looking space when it’s finished.
