Replacement windows should be distinguished from new-construction windows. New-construction windows have a "fin" along the outer frame. This fin provides a surface so that the window can be nailed in from the outside of the home before the application of siding. Unfortunately, new-construction windows may be of inferior quality as builders continually try to keep costs low. Replacement windows have no such "fin". This allows them to be installed with minimal disruption to the existing trim/siding.

A national research study examined the cost of replacement windows in an average-sized home. They looked at how much the windows would add to a house's value if sold a year later. In 15 major markets, the average rate of the window replacement cost recouped was 91.6%. This 2002 research study, conducted by Remodeling magazine (a Hanley-Wood, LLC trade publication) utilized professional opinions of over 200 real estate agents and appraisers in the top remodel markets.

When sizing up replacement windows, there are more things to consider than fit and cost. No matter how old or new the current windows are, paying attention to insulating factors is always a smart move. Not only can this save you money in the long run, but it will make it easier to maintain your optimum comfort levels in your home. The next topic to consider is the style of window. You may be replacing a bay window, a storm window, lattice windows, casement windows, or the like, and maintaining uniformity is important. Although its never good to use price as a gauge, there are few ways that you can help compare replacement window prices, the key is to know what factors affect a window's price.
