Before you do anything, make sure you start this window or door project at the right time of year.

Starting your window replacement project must begin with choosing the best time of year to do it. Taking into consideration that you need to work when it is warm and dry, late fall or just before summer begins is a great time to start. The reason for choosing these particular times of the year is that your house will be open with some of the windows missing as you work. These considerations will only pertain to those that live at very high altitudes or where the weather is known to constantly change.

Many homeowners like the idea of handling window replacement themselves; unless you’re a real DIYer, however, you may be better off hiring a qualified contractor instead. If you make any mistakes, you can do damage to the windows or frames and then it will have cost you rather than saved you money. Before deciding to DIY, you also have to make sure you can spare the time necessary to get the materials and do the work. As long as you find the right contractor, who is honest and charges a reasonable fee, you may want to consider going this route. For one thing, an honest contractor should be willing to come to your house and give you an initial consultation without charging you for this. Word of mouth is always a good way to find quality help, so you should ask everyone you know to recommend a contractor who’s reasonable and does quality work. You may also be able to find reviews of contractors or window replacement companies online. The next thing you need to think about, especially if you are replacing the frames around your windows, is the style of frames that you need to get. Timber frames are all the rage, but people forget how high maintenance they are especially if you live in a climate zone with a lot of precipitation. The best choice that anyone can make, especially in regard to energy efficiency, is to choose vinyl over wood. It’s also fairly reasonable compared to other types of frames. Aluminum frames are not advisable, especially if you are trying to reduce sound, heat exchange, and your heating bill. Fiberglass frames should be purchased over vinyl, especially if you are looking for a long-term investment.

When deciding which windows to purchase, you will naturally have to consider your budget, but you also have to remember that this is a long term investment. While picking out a first rate window you will accomplish two things for sure; lowering your utility bill and increasing the value of your residence. Buying cut rate quality items in order to save on your budget might not have been a good choice later on. Falling into an exceptional bargain on energy efficient windows would be excellent, but make sure you get the special aspects offered in the high cost product. There’s no point in going through the trouble and expense of installing new windows if you’re going to have to replace them yet again in a few years. You will see, as you begin your project, that window replacement is a long and sometimes difficult journey. It’s best to do as much research as possible so you know what kind of windows and frames are best for your home, how much it will cost and how long it will take. Proper preparation is the key to saving the most money possible and getting the windows that you need installed in a timely manner.
