Thinking about replacing your windows but worried about the disruption? Many homeowners ask: "Do you have to leave your house during window installation?" The short answer: not usually. In most cases, staying home during window replacement is completely safe and manageable. Here’s what to expect during window installation — and how Windows on Washington minimizes disruption every step of the way.

What to Expect During Installation

Our in-house installation teams work room-by-room, removing old windows and installing new ones with efficiency and care. Each window takes about 30–60 minutes to install. We take care to cover floors and furniture, manage debris, and protect your space throughout the project.

Can You Stay Home?

Absolutely. Most homeowners stay home during window installation. Our crews are respectful, trained, and communicate clearly throughout the process. You can go about your day while we handle the heavy lifting. Our team ensures a safe, clean worksite — no surprises, no mess.

What About Kids and Pets?

We understand that families and pets need extra care. That’s why we:

  • Coordinate installation around nap times, school pickups, or other key moments

  • Contain tools and materials safely

  • Let you know when we need access to specific rooms

Prefer to step out?

That’s fine, too. We’ll keep you in the loop so you know exactly what’s happening and when.

How We Minimize Disruption

Windows on Washington is known for minimizing disruption during home improvement. Our team is:

  • Made up of in-house professionals who know your project

  • Committed to a clean-as-you-go approach

  • Focused on proactive, transparent communication

Quick Checklist for Staying Home During Installation

  • Confirm the installation timeline with your contractor
  •  Clear a path to the windows being replaced
  •  Secure pets or arrange care ☐ Move or cover furniture if needed (ask if we’ll handle it) ☐ Let the crew know about any timing needs (naps, meetings, etc.)
  •  Ask about debris disposal and site clean-up

We’re Here to Help Window installation doesn’t have to interrupt your life. With an experienced team like Windows on Washington, it’s a smooth, low-stress experience — whether you stay home or step out.
