With proper care and maintenance, your windows can last many years. But they’ll still deteriorate slowly over time, and eventually, you’ll need to have them replaced. It’s important to know what can affect the cost of your new windows so that you can make the most out of your budget without accumulating costs.
If you want to know what goes into the cost of your window replacement, Our team at Renewal by Andersen® of Seattle shares what you need to consider:
Type of Replacement
Are you planning your project as a full-frame replacement or just a window insert? The budget you set aside for your new windows will be greatly affected by the type of replacement you need. What you choose will largely depend on the condition of your current windows and the age of your home, which may mean more repairs if you have an older home. Make sure whether your installation will be a standard procedure or a custom job.
Labor
This makes up most of your replacement costs, as it includes inspection, material configuration (for custom jobs), material preparation, installation, and any additional repairs that need to be done.
Whether you’re having a standard replacement or custom bay windows installed, quality labor is cost-effective. Choosing to go for the cheapest replacement or lowest-priced service won’t be worth the cost in the long run; the low price offering from such products are probably due to either low-quality materials or poor labor quality.
Material
The type of material you’ll choose for your new windows can also affect your budget. You’ll want a beautiful window but won’t settle for less in terms of performance. This can be hard to find when there are many types of glass and frame types available in the market selling at different price points. That’s why we recommend our Fibrex® windows as it offers both style and function! Our windows come with Andersen® High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, so you can be confident that you’ll save more on your energy bills without sacrificing your home’s comfort.
