Outdated windows can harm your home’s curb appeal and energy efficiency. Many modern units can beautify your property while keeping you protected against the elements and helping you save on your utility costs. They are also a worthy investment for those who are considering selling their home in the future.

Different things can affect the cost of your window replacement project. Find out what these are from one of the area’s leading window and siding companies.  

Window Style

Windows come in a wide range of styles, colors and sizes. Some styles can cost more than others, such as bow windows, which usually come at a higher price than casements and awnings. The reason these windows cost more is that they are composed of various smaller windows.

Frame Material

Vinyl, wood, composite, aluminum and fiberglass are among today’s most popular window frame materials. Each window material comes with its unique strength and appealing qualities. For instance, vinyl windows possess the beauty of wood but do not require as much maintenance. Aluminum windows are ideal for homes and businesses and remain one of the most cost-effective replacement windows in the market. At Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, we install Simonton vinyl windows, Don Young aluminum windows and Andersen 100 Series composite windows. As one of the area’s best window and siding installers, you can rely on us for your home exterior needs.

Glass

Another factor that can affect the cost of your window replacement project is the glass. Windows with at least glass panes cost more than single-pane units. It is because these windows offer better insulation, energy efficiency, noise-blocking capabilities and durability.

Installation Method

There are two basic types of window installation, which are full-frame replacement and insert installation. Your contractor will only replace the window during an insert installation. Meanwhile, in a full-frame replacement, all the window components, including the frame are replaced. The latter option normally costs more.
