Different Types of Replacements

There are different types of window replacement as well.  You can do a complete window replacement with the sills and frames or you can do what they call "Pocket replacements" if your sills and frames are still square and usable.  This method can save some money, however, if your sills are not square or show signs of wear, this is not recommended.

Some ways to ensure you have found a good installer is to get online and see if they are registered with the American Window and door institute or Installations Masters.  And, when you start getting bids, ensure they put the make and model number of the windows they are quoting. Do not go by just the price when deciding on which installer and windows to use.  Remember, compare the same type of window and keep apples to apples. There are many different levels of windows and that can certainly be a determining factor in the cost of things.

Window Materials

There are also various window materials to consider when looking to replace the windows. These materials have different looks as well as maintenance. There are Composite Frames, Vinyl Frames and wooden frames which all serve the same purpose but are completely different.  Wooden frames are often used in older homes because they match the style of the house better. Getting that perfect look that matches your home is important as well as the efficiency of the windows. There are vinyl frames that are typically the least expensive of all the options and are virtually maintenance free.  And, the composite frames which are a combination of wood and vinyl to get that look of wood but offer more durability similar to vinyl. When you are gathering quotes, ensure they are all using the same style of frame in their quote as well.
