Replacement windows are expensive, especially if you need windows with special features for your replacement window Denver home project, such as size that is not standard or special coatings. Fortunately, there are several ways to lower those costs without cutting corners when it comes to quality – here are some tips:
- Choose an affordable frame material – while solid wood might seem like the most common window frame material to many, it is actually the most expensive solution and also one that might require lots of maintenance and repairs in climate zones that are very wet, very hot or very cold. Vinyl, on the other hand, is much more affordable and great in terms of weather-resistance as well;
- Use standard sizes – standard-sized windows are cheaper, so if you currently have windows that are unusual in terms of size, it can be a good idea to figure out how to modify your openings to be able to accommodate standard sizes;
- Consider second-hand windows – if you are lucky, you can find very good replacement windows in building material stores in your area or online, on auction sites or on other platforms. It is a good idea to check the available options before you decide to buy new windows – the savings can be considerable.
