Creating a Window Replacement Budget: What to Consider

Replacing your windows is an exciting project, but one that requires careful planning to ensure you’re happy with the outcome. To help you out, Renewal by Andersen® of Portland offers a few tips to help you get started on your replacement windows project.

Here’s what you should consider:

How Much You Can Afford

When creating a budget, it’s important to be honest about what you can realistically afford. However, you should not prioritize price over quality. Replacement windows that may be a little more expensive upfront are often well worth it in the long run because they’ll last longer, require less maintenance and generate bigger energy savings.

Materials

Once you determine what type of replacement windows you want for your home, you need to consider the cost of the materials needed for the project. In addition to the windows themselves, materials include miscellaneous things such as nails, screws, tools, insulation, any extra materials to help with the trim and so on. You can discuss this with your window installer so you’ll have a better understanding of how much the materials will cost you.

The Labor Cost

The labor cost will include the time needed for the installation team to get on-site and set-up prior to installing all of your windows in the most effective and efficient manner possible. You get what you pay for when it comes to labor, so choose a trusted and reputable company with a track record of successful window installations.
