It is very important to replace your windows when they get old. If your windows look visibly old it is time to replace them, if they are over 10 years old, it is time to change them, if you feel your room gets too hot or too cold then you know it is time to replace your windows.
Window Replacement Cost
Window replacement is not expensive. On an average, window replacement costs $100-200 per window. Which is nothing to get a new look for your home, live comfortably and reduce your utility bills. You will most probably recover this cost in a year when your utility bill drops.
Get Windows That Will Save you Money In The Long Run
When you get your windows replaced, I highly recommend that you do not go for the cheapest window but go for the right windows at the cheapest price. What I mean is that don’t just get single pane glass because it is cheaper. Single pane won’t block outside weather from entering your home.
So you may get new windows but they won’t be efficient or save you any money. Instead choose a minimum of two pane windows and then find someone to install the two pane windows for the best rate.
Best Rate is Not The Low Dollar
Also sometimes the best rate is not the one with a low dollar but could be the one who offers the best aftercare warranty. Someone might install windows for cheap but may not offer any warranty. If there is a problem with their installation you now have to spend out of pocket to fix it. But if you have a year warranty, you know if something happens, if there is a mistake in installation they will fix or replace it for free. So this can save you more money.
How To Get Best Deal For Window Replacement
When you are ready to replace your windows go to Google and type: “window replacement” or “window replacement service”. You will see a list of companies that replace windows.
Read their reviews and get rid of the ones with bad reviews. Shortlist the ones that have good reviews. Give them a call and explain them your window needs and ask for a quote.
Have Contractors Look At Windows Before Starting To Save Money
I would highly recommend that you have them visit your property and look at the windows before giving you a quote for replacing your windows. The reason I say this is that sometimes you may have a bad window frame or two that needs replacing. Once they take a look they will see what needs to be done and you will receive an accurate quote.
Also, sometimes they will give you a quote and start working then tell you 10 extra things they need to do. They will tell you that they were not aware of these issues and now that they have started working on your windows you have no choice but to go through them.
All of this can be avoided if you have them look at your place before starting so you are sure that there will not be any discrepancy in the work order or budget once they start working.
