It’s no secret that window replacement costs money, but it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy savings without compromising quality. In today’s post, Ganser Company shares some tips that can help you save money on your next window replacement.
Most people take on home improvement by themselves because of the purported savings. While it is true that you can save on labor costs by taking it on yourself, the trade-offs are usually not worth it. If you’re installing off-the-shelf replacement windows, you’ll have to make do with what’s available. This means there’s the risk of mismatching window colors and finishes and uneven energy performance between windows.
Also, DIY window installation doesn’t come with a workmanship warranty. If problems develop from installation mistakes, the cost to fix it will come out of your own pocket. Working with a reputable replacement window contractor that offers just-as-reputable brands like Infinity® windows, can result in more savings — and less headaches — over time.
Don’t put all the bells and whistles at the top of your must-have window features list. They’re great to have, but the additional costs can add up. When choosing replacement windows, start with the standard features, the ones that you’ll really need: insulated glass, low-maintenance frames and sashes, quality hardware, and long service lives. When you have all of these covered and you still have room in your budget, you can save it or use it for upgrades and additional features.
Summer is the busiest season for contractors because of the generally clear weather and ideal temperatures. However, window replacement does not need either — in fact, window replacement during the winter season, barring winter storms, is fairly common. Window replacement contractors offer discounts during the off seasons, which translates to savings if you choose a less busier time. Another benefit of off-season window replacement is you have a better chance of hiring the contractor of your choice.
