THE BASICS
OF WINDOW
REPLACEMENT
PROJECTS
Windows in a
home are easily
taken for granted.
Even though residents
look through their windows
every day, it’s only
when issues arise that people
tend to give the windows
much thought.
Even if windows may not
be foremost on the minds
of homeowners, they are
a notable component of
every home. New windows also can be an expensive ve addition to
a home, so it benefi ts all homeowners to gain an understanding erstanding of
of
window replacement projects before they start shopping g
around for
new windows.
• Windows are more complex than new homeowners may realize.
Homeowners will need to choose between three commonly
available window materials when picking new windows for their
homes. Vinyl windows typically are the most affordable option, and
opinions vary considerably regarding these products. Some tout
their resistance to moisture, but others feel they lack the aesthetic
appeal of costlier alternatives like fi berglass. Vinyl windows also
can’t be painted, which some homeowners may fi nd problematic.
Fiberglass windows can be painted and are known for their strength
and durability. Aluminum windows are strong and durable as well,
but they may not provide as much thermal protection as some other
options. Each window type has its own unique pros and cons, and
homeowners are urged to do their homework to determine the best
fi t for them.
• Consider variables unique to your home. Climate is an important
consideration when choosing windows, and that of course
is unique to each homeowner. How hot or cold the local climate
can be will affect how well windows insulate a home, so a window
that’s best for one particular region may not be ideal for another.
Homeowners are urged to investigate which window materials are
best suited to their local climates. All windows protect against the
elements, but some might provide more adequate insulation, which
can help keep utility bills low and everyone inside a home more
comfortable.
• Homeowners may need to decide between replacement
windows or new construction windows. The window experts at
Pella note that new construction windows are the primary option for
newly constructed homes or room additions. Replacement windows
are typically installed when homeowners need new windows but
do not want or need to remove existing exterior cladding or trim.
Replacement windows tend to be considerably less expensive than
new construction windows, but the latter option merits consideration
before making a fi nal decision.
• It can be budget-friendly to replace more than one window
at a time. Some, though not all, window installation companies
charge a non-negotiable project fee, so it can be more fi nancially
savvy to replace more than one window at a time. Replacing windows
piecemeal may require homeowners to pay the project fee for
each installation, whereas homeowners who replace multiple windows
at the same time will only incur that fee once. If homeowners
know many windows in their home are in need of replacement, it
can be fi nancially advantageous to replace all that need it at once
rather than breaking the project up and paying multiple project fees.
