Your windows need a replacement if rain water is permeating into the house, the drafts are blowing and you frequently hear a comment by your visitors that your windows look old and drafty. But before you take up the window replacement project and start to rip off the old windows, here are three things that you should know about window replacement:

Hire professionals: Replacing your windows is not a DIY project. It is recommended to have professionals take over the work and complete the project for you. Hiring professional contractors will not only ensure that the project is completed within time but also deliver a certain level of workmanship that cannot be expected from a do-it-yourself project.

Repair VS replacement: It is not necessary that you need to replace the full window every time. Let the contractors examine your window to find out whether your windows need complete replacement or just partial repairs. In some cases replacing only the seals or the panes of glass is enough to fix the issue and save you big bucks.

Type of frame: The framing material you choose for your window is as important as choosing the right contractor. No doubt wood frames look aesthetically appealing and give the classic look to your house but there are other cost effective options too. Vinyl is one of them. They are energy efficient, come in different styles and are also pretty inexpensive.
