Window Replacement Costs
WINDOW REPLACEMENT COSTS
What affects the cost of replacement windows?
Window material
The type of material you choose for your windows and doors impact your project's cost. At Infinity, we use Ultrex® fiberglass for our windows and doors. Why Ultrex® fiberglass? Because it outperforms and outlasts other options. You may save some money on your initial project costs by choosing a less expensive vinyl option, but vinyl windows are more prone to expansion and contraction that can lead to problems down the road.
NEW WINDOW COSTS OPTIONS
Can I customize my window replacement?
Window features + options
Each window and door can be customized to your specific
taste. You may notice your project cost increase as you add more decorative
options to your project — just like adding more options to a brand-new car.
We've all started DIY projects that end up taking longer and
costing more money than expected. The same goes for DIY window and door
replacement. The cost of professional window installation is based on the
number of windows being replaced plus any special considerations — such as
prepping for a new window opening or extensive finish work if your current
windows and trim are in bad shape.
BUDGET
Budgeting for window and door replacement
Gathering quotes for window replacement can lead to initial sticker shock. Don't worry if your project sounds like it might cost more than anticipated. Infinity experts will work with your budget.
You could approach your project in phases. Start with the front of the house or the kids' bedrooms — whatever needs replacement first. That way you can save in between phases while still improving your home's comfort.
Many homeowners finance their home improvement projects to spread out the cost over time. Be sure to ask during your consultation about any special financing offers that are running. Financing can help make your project fit your budget — or allow you to increase your buying power to replace all your windows and doors at once by dividing the project into affordable monthly payments.
INVEST
Return on investment
Like any home improvement project, new windows and doors can add value to your home — an average 68-72% return on investment which ranks higher than most interior renovations. Fiberglass windows also have a longer useful life expectancy than vinyl.
