Assess Your Old Windows

Before you start the window replacement process, take an inventory of the windows you want to replace. Write down details like the type of window, opening direction, size and material. Make sure to measure each window accurately for both width and height. Account for existing trim so ordered replacements fit perfectly without leaving gaps.

Calculate the Cost of Professional Window Repair

To get windows properly fitted and installed, include labour costs in your budget. Installation costs can be 30-50% of the total cost, so make sure you factor in skilled labour when you speak with your window replacement company. Window replacement installation can be difficult.
