    5 Common Window Replacement Mistakes

    5 Common Window Replacement Mistakes

    Having a new window to replace the broken, drab or worn-out ones can do wonders for you. However, there are five mistakes that every homeowner should avoid. Renewal by Andersen of Long Island®, the leading experts in replacement windows, shares five of them.

    5 Common Window Replacement Mistakes

    1. Trying to be Trendy- When it comes to adding anything in the house, a key part is design. It must fit and make your house look nice and comfortable. What can be dangerous is when you prioritize the look over the actual use. Just because your friends enjoy this color or that frame design doesn’t mean it’s right for you.

    2. Avoiding Green Materials- A common misconception about windows installation using green materials is that they cost much more than an average window. This can lead to higher energy costs for your home. You won’t have to worry about this with our Fibrex® composite frames and Low E4® glass. Not only are they affordable, but they also offer superior protection for many years.

    3. Standing Out Against Your House- Inspections by professionals like us are useful for many reasons, one of them being design. You may think that a window looks good as is, but it shouldn’t be installed without thought. You must take into account its design, whether it is Spanish or rustic, so that it doesn’t clash with the rest of your home. Renewal by Andersen of Long Island will help you choose the best windows for your home’s design.

    4. Underestimating Your Budget- When installing sliding windows and other windows from us, you shouldn’t try to limit your budget to the bare minimum. Untoward incidents may happen during the project and previously undetected issues may surface. These could add up very quickly and force you to go over your budget. A good idea is to set aside a reserve fund worth about 10% of your overall budget as a backup. This will keep you financially secure if any unexpected problems appear.

    5. Hiring the Wrong Contractor- No matter what type of window you decide to install, the ultimate factor is the company you hire. Finding a cheaper and faster group doesn’t always mean success and quality. Remember: you get what you pay for, so be sure to hire only licensed, properly insured and well-established companies.
