Top 3 Things to Discuss with Your Contractor

#1. Materials You Prefer for Your Home Window Replacement

Nowadays, home window replacement projects do not rely on wood windows alone. You can choose between:

• Wood;
• Aluminum;
• Vinyl frames.

Typically, most window replacement contractors recommend vinyl replacement windows because of their cost-efficiency, durability, and customizability.

#2. The Correct Aesthetic Style for Your Home Window Replacement

Most suburban houses are very uniform in design. You can choose from dozens of different window styles, including sliding windows, casements, double-hung windows, and others. You can ask an interior designer to help you make a choice.

#3. Performance You Need (and Can Afford)

Window manufacturers often raise or reduce the prices of windows depending on their estimated performance. If you decide to have windows that prioritize energy efficiency, you’ll get other advantages as well, such as:

1. Reduced noise levels;
2. Improved insulation;
3. Double glass panes.

Some expensive windows have extensive UV resistance, which improves their lifespan and dependability.

Home Windows Replacement Tips

Set a Budget

Determine how much you are willing to spend on your window replacement project. Your budget will influence the types of materials and styles you can afford. Remember to account for both the cost of the windows themselves and the installation fees.

Evaluate Warranty and Maintenance Requirements

Check the warranty offered by the window manufacturer and the contractor. Our warranty covers both materials and installation. You should also consider the maintenance requirements of your chosen windows. Vinyl and aluminum windows typically require less maintenance than wood.
