Vinyl replacement windows for your home are an investment. And as with any investment you will want to be sure that you are making the right choice for the long-term. We know that there are a lot of options for window styles, as well as additional features such as soundproofing and designer glass. Following these tips can give you confidence in your window choice. They will also help you feel more comfortable when buying replacement windows and during the installation process.

 

#1 Consideration When Buying Replacement Windows: Ask a Lot of Questions!

This is a big investment, and not something to rush into. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask! While our dealers are absolutely trustworthy experts, that doesn’t mean you need to keep quiet if you’re wondering about something. As a homeowner you should be fully informed about the process and products. And you should feel completely comfortable with your replacement window purchase.

Sometimes it’s hard to remember questions or concerns you may have on the spot. It’s a good idea to write things down as you think of them. Your dealer will take the time to make sure that your questions are addressed to your satisfaction.

 

#2 Consideration When Buying Replacement Windows: Your Budget — But Don’t Base Your Entire Decision On It

Budget is of course important. There is only so much you can afford, and you want to make the most of your money. But going for the cheapest window, while appealing in the short-term, may not be the best choice when you think about how that decision will impact your future.

The cheapest windows are cheap for a reason. They are typically basic and do not have the features that can add to energy efficiency and value to your home. They may look similar to higher quality windows, since you can’t see features like soundproofing or reinforcement, but once they’re installed they simply don’t hold up as well as premium windows.

If you focus on price alone, you may find yourself looking at new replacement windows far sooner than you would’ve liked. Talk to your Great Lakes Window dealer about how to balance affordability and function for the best results.

 

#3 Consideration When Buying Replacement Windows: Changes That Could Benefit Your Home

For many homeowners, the instinct when considering home replacement windows is to do a literal replacement. Often they buy the exact same type or style of windows, because that’s what they had before.

We think that this is a great opportunity to try something different! Especially if your windows are quite old, there are many new styles of windows that can fill the same size space, but add to the functionality and aesthetics of your home.

This is also a good time to think about changing the color or design of your windows, to better suit your home, to modernize your curb appeal, or simply to breathe new life into the appearance of your house, inside and out.
