It is window replacement season. You just went through another winter with your old, drafty windows and you are NOT going to do that again.

BUT.....where do you start? Great question.

Lets look at the top 5 questions you should ask yourself if you are considering buying replacement windows.

1. How much do replacement windows cost?

This question is not a simple answer except, it depends. It depends on the type of material, the installation method and so on. Here are some great references for the cost of replacement windows:

2. What type of installation method should I consider?

This is probably one of the most important questions to ask yourself. The two primary options for window replacement installation are full frame replacement and insert replacement.

A full frame window replacement means that the installer will tear out your old window sash and frame and replace it with an all new window unit.

An insert window replacement means that the installer will tear out the sash of your old window while leaving the frame in place. The new window unit including a new frame and sash will sit within the old frame.

These two installation methods provide significantly different results. For more detailed information about the different types of installation, check out What's the best window installation method for my home?
