Let’s face it windows age and deteriorate over time. Given weather and temperature conditions windows take a lot of wear and tear. There will come a time in every home when windows will need to be repaired or replaced. Time has caught up to them and they no longer function properly or protect against heat and cold. Old windows can easily raise your heating and cooling bills. The cost of saving on energy will pay for the windows in the long run. It’s one improvement you can expect a return on your investment form energy savings and resale value.
There are three basic installation types of windows. New construction, existing construction and replacement windows. New construction deals with new homes. It’s the less complicated because the windows are just popped into the new openings without any care for existing siding or interior prep. Existing construction is where the whole window gets replaced within and existing home. This requires interior trim and exterior siding alteration. This method is more labor intensive and a better quality job. Replacement windows are not an inferior product or job but the existing circumstances need to be addressed and considered if your situation allows for a replacement window job. Some existing windows or homes are really rotted and need repair so it would make better sense to use new windows.
