Whether it is a standalone project or part of your home remodeling, a window replacement is a worthwhile upgrade that can boost your home’s aesthetic appeal and functionality. However, the expense associated with it can be a concern for homeowners. Fortunately, there are smart ways to save money on window replacement while still achieving the desired results. Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento shares an overview in this article.
Comparing Window Prices
Begin by comparing suppliers’ and contractors’ window pricing. Choose energy-efficient windows for long-term savings on heating and cooling. Weigh the pros and cons of different framing material options, including level of maintenance and durability.
Rebates and Incentives
Look for government or energy company rebates for energy-efficient replacement windows. These incentives can help make window replacement affordable. Sacramento energy efficiency programs are offered through local utility providers or energy efficiency websites.
Timing Is Key
Window replacement can be scheduled at any of the year, but if you want to save on costs, consider doing it during the off-season. Home improvements are popular in the spring and summer, resulting in higher pricing and longer wait times. You may be able to negotiate better contractor prices and save on labor costs by choosing a time when there’s less demand for window replacement.
Bundle Services
If you’re planning additional home remodeling projects, such as replacing doors in Sacramento, consider bundling services with the same contractor. Many installation companies offer discounts when multiple services are requested, allowing you to save on both windows and doors.
DIY vs. Professional Installation
Going the DIY route might be a sensible choice given the cost savings one might accrue, but given the complexity of the installation, this might result in air leakage, energy loss, and additional costs. An expert installation team who has the skills and knowledge to ensure proper installation that will allow you to enjoy benefits such as improved energy efficiency and better curb appeal.
