How to Incorporate Windows In a Dover Home Remodel

April 10, 2017

The time has finally come. You’re ready to start on that home remodel you’ve been thinking about doing for months. But before you start doing any DIY work or invite your favorite Dover remodeler in, you should make sure you’re planning everything out accordingly–especially in regards to how you integrate windows and window treatments such as shutters into the remodel.

Here’s what you need to do before, during, and after your remodel to make it look incredible for years to come.

Realize How Important Windows Are to Your Remodel

The majority of remodelers will tell you that windows are one of the most important elements of home architecture. Windows are primarily responsible for allowing light in, which can drastically impact the look of a room regardless of any other design choice on the inside. So before you get too far into your remodel, think about any changes you’d want to make in your windows. Could you use more light coming in? Do you want better control over that natural light? Do you need better privacy or noise control?

Thinking about any of those questions can make a sizeable impact on what needs to happen in your project, so take some time and give your windows some attention.

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 talking to your home designer early on in the project. With lots of moving parts in a home remodel, there are several benefits in getting all your service providers talking:

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

  • Your window treatment provider can get in, get window measurements, and offer ideas upfront, prior to any demolition.

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

  • A smoother direction for the style of your remodel - giving you a better looking space when it’s finished.

It’s beneficial to pick a window treatment provider that has worked with home designers before. Sunburst Shutters Delaware has worked with several Dover home builders and designers, so we know how to work with other home services.

Picking a window treatment company that often partners with home remodelers can give you an idea of how your remodel will look when finished, as well as reduce how long you have to wait before you can enjoy your revamped space, not to mention a spectacular looking finished product.
