A window replacement project is no simple feat. You’ll need to plan out the project, pick reliable window replacement companies to work with and see if they offer your selected window type. Another factor to consider is the actual cost of the project as this can fluctuate from contractor to contractor. Here are the factors that can affect window replacement costs.
Frame Material
One of the first things you’ll consider when replacing your windows is the frame material. There are multiple frame materials that are available on the market, such as wood, vinyl and fiberglass. Wood and fiberglass frames are pricier than vinyl, and wood requires higher maintenance costs. Vinyl windows are said to be the most cost-effective option compared to wood and fiberglass since they’re durable and low maintenance.
Type of Glass
A window with two to three panes of glass will be more expensive than single-pane units. However, single-pane windows are hard to come across nowadays. It’s also worth investing in these double- to triple-pane windows since they make your home energy-efficient. Even if you have budget constraints, you can still get flexible financing options that are fitted to your needs.
Types of Windows
Windows come in different shapes and sizes. Some sizes are more expensive than others. For instance, a bay or bow window will cost more compared to awning, casement or double-hung windows. This is because bay and bow windows have a larger size and are made up of several smaller windows, warranting the increased price.
