Common Window Replacement Mistakes to Avoid

Ensuring the success of your window replacement project starts with proper planning. This includes educating yourself about common mistakes to avoid. Read on as we highlight some common pitfalls of window replacement:

Not Considering New Window Styles

You can always opt to install the same exact type of windows you had before. However, you might be missing out on something even better if you don’t even consider alternatives. Considering different window styles, as well as units with innovative technology for superior energy efficiency can improve your home in a multitude of ways.

Not Prioritizing Security

Your windows are an important factor in your home’s security. Like your entry and patio doors, they keep intruders out while allowing you to see what’s outside from the comfort and safety of your home. When choosing replacement windows for your window installation project, consider those with hardware that keeps windows from being opened from the outside.

Considering the Initial Costs Only

It is important to consider a window’s initial costs, but you should also need to factor in the life-cycle cost. This involves cleaning, maintenance and other costs related to the unit’s operation. High-quality windows may have a hefty price tag, but they will cost less over time because they’ll require less maintenance and last longer than windows with a lower price tag.
