How Much Does It Cost to Replace Windows? 4 Factors to Consider

It’s not uncommon for Ridge Valley Exteriors sales representatives to hear questions like “How much does it cost to replace windows?” or “What are my options?” from customers looking into different types of window replacements.  

With windows replacement, there are more than a few factors to consider before you can determine the approximate cost of replacement. Each home is different, and every window is unique; therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all price tag for replacing windows. Factors such as window type, shape, or whether it is a custom job all contribute to the costs associated with window replacement.

Replacing windows can be expensive. From finding the right replacement windows to actually getting the job done, it seems like there’s no end to the money you will have to shell out. Also, if you don’t know what to look for in a replacement window, then you may not get the best deal possible.

A little research goes a long way here – so we did most of it for you! Here are four important things to consider when figuring out how much replacing your windows would cost:

When it comes to window frame materials, the most common type of material is wood. Wood has always been used in making windows because of its durability and functionality. Consistent with this, wood remains a popular choice for building window frames—and will likely continue to do so if it is available. 

The problem with wooden window frames is that they splinter, rot, and break extremely easily. They wear down to a point where they’re no longer structurally sound and then need to be replaced.  That’s where wood grain interior windows come in. Wood grain interior windows are designed to look just like traditional wood windows without sacrificing durability or functionality. They provide the visual appeal of wood with superior strength, sound control and thermal performance that lasts over time. 

Aside from that, today's homeowners also have vinyl, composite, or combination materials from which to choose.

Getting woken up early in the morning by loud noise is a terrible way to start your day. It is even worse if it happens on a regular basis!

Double and triple pane windows are the solution. These windows provide a layer of insulation between two or more panes of glass. They work to keep energy expenses down and also offer great soundproofing.

Windows come in all shapes and sizes, but the most popular window designs are: 

To avoid paying more than necessary, it's important to know which size and shape of replacement windows work best for your specific needs. Resizing a window opening to accommodate a new smaller or larger window will lead to higher labor costs.

Everyone knows ugly windows are unsightly. But most people don’t realize that improperly installed windows can be a threat to safety and security within your home.

A poorly installed window won’t function correctly and will not provide proper protection against inclement weather or unwanted intruders. And while a new window may seem like “just another home improvement project,” the wrong choice in product or installation can have costly consequences both now and in the future.

 

We recommend you consider having an experienced professional install your new windows – someone who knows how to choose the right type of window for your needs, how to install it properly, as well as what impact it will have on. 

Choosing the right windows is not an easy task. With all the choices available, it’s hard to know where to start. And, if you are like most people, you don’t have time to research products. What if we could make it easier for you? Would that be valuable?
