Why Consider Replacing Windows This Fall

Need to replace your windows? Fall is an ideal time of year to tackle this project. Read on as Renewal by Andersen® explains why fall is the best time of year to install replacement windows.

Here are the two primary reasons why you should consider replacing your windows in the fall:

• Less demand: Spring and summer are the busiest times for window contractors, which can make scheduling your project tricky as there may be long wait times. If you wait until fall to schedule your window replacement, you’ll likely have an easier time scheduling the project when you want. Additionally, window contractors may offer promos or discounts in the fall when demand is lower, saving you money.

• Good weather: Fall tends to bring mild weather to the region, which makes the installation process easier and safer.

  Caulk adheres best in temperatures over 40 degrees, so consider scheduling your window replacement in the next few weeks before temperatures drop further.

Pre-Installation Preparations

Decided to schedule your project this fall? Just make sure you prepare your house ahead of time. Clear any furniture out of the path of the contractors so they have easy access to the windows. Also, cover your flower beds and other greenery outside your home with tarps to keep them safe from dust and debris. Many window contractors will help you with these preparations so be sure to ask about that during your consultation.
