Budget Replacement Windows

      inˈves(t)mənt/
    • A thing that is worth buying because it may be profitable or useful in the future.

This definition doesn't tell the complete story about "investments", does it?  We all know that there are GOOD investments and bad ones.  The best investments pay off in the short term and continue into the long term.  Windows can be that kind of investment but lets not pretend that there is no risk.  Is there anything better for your budget than making a good investment?  Is there anything worse than a bad one?  Just like every other important purchase that you make for your home, underpaying for windows can be as dangerous as overpaying for them.

Our advice is to avoid paying for labels.  Most of our customers are surprised when they learn that the best buys on the window market are usually from manufacturers that they've never heard of.  Most of the most familiar window manufacturers actually specialize in "New Construction" and in our opinion remain behind the curve on "Replacement Windows" (an entirely different animal).

The key to finding a window that saves long-term money without breaking the short-term budget is to work with a company that can offer estimates on multiple budget windows.  Some manufacturers provide great prices for large windows, others for small windows.  Some manufacturers provide better prices for colors or styles.  Not all "Single Hung" windows are cheaper than "Double Hung" and sometimes the most efficient glass doesn't make the most efficient window. 

We at Adams Home Windows consider it our job to find each homeowner the deal that will work for both their short & long term budget.  Remember to check our Twitter feed for updates on Manufacturer promotions and deals.  We update it often.

Window Buying Guide

 

Forget what the ads say. Saving money on your energy bill is not the reason to replace your windows--it could take decades to recoup the $8,000 to $24,000 you'll spend on new windows and installation. Energy Star-qualified windows can lower your energy bills by 7 to 15 percent. That's only $27 to $111 a year for a 2,000-square-foot single-story home with storm windows or double-pane windows, $126 to $465 if your home has just single-pane windows, according to Energy Star.

 

But new windows can enhance the look of your home and make it less drafty and quieter, and they're easier to clean and maintain than old windows with combination storm and screens. Use this buying guide to help you before you shop or request bids.

 

To find out which windows will keep your home comfortable and dry, we tested 21 double-hung and 4 casement-style windows for air- and water leakage. We found significant differences between brands in types and frame materials. Working with an outside lab we subjected the windows to heavy, wind-driven rain and winds of 25 and 50 mph at outdoor temperatures of 0°F and 70°F. Given the high cost of replacing windows, the more you know, the better so don't rely on a contractor to choose. Use our Ratings to guide you and search manufacturer websites for ideas and design tools.
