Replacement windows are a valuable investment that can contribute to energy savings and keep your home looking attractive inside and out. It’s a project that requires some thought and planning, however, since improper products and installation can quickly create problems. Stick to these key do’s and don’ts to ensure a seamless window replacement process for your home.

Do:

Shop around.

Windows aren’t a one-size-fits-all purchase. Different products have different features. Start by getting the precise dimensions of yours. Explore bay, slider, and bow windows if you want something new. Keep frame materials in mind as well as the number of panes to know what kind of energy-saving advantages you’ll get.

Work with the pros.

The slightest misstep can create issues with your window replacement. You don’t want to deal with trial and error or find out months later that your windows are ineffective, so work with professional installers. They’ll ensure dimensions are correct, can shop around for the ideal product for your needs, and handle the installation. In the end, this can save money and create a much less stressful process.

Don’t:

Purchase based on price.

If you have a general budget, don’t simply buy the cheapest windows. These often have a much shorter life span and won’t hold up well against extreme temperatures and precipitation. Windows are a long-term investment that boosts home value and provides peace of mind. Dedicate your budget to superior windows; in the long run, you’ll save more money compared with cheap products that require repairs and won’t last as long.

Go with the same model.

Simply choosing the same window as the one you’re replacing may seem like the easiest solution. However, if they’re older, they likely lack many of the upgraded features a new window replacement will have, such as insulated panes and UV protection. Focus instead on utility and aesthetics so you select something that’s a true enhancement.
