Should you have your windows replaced one at a time? Or should you replace them all in one go? Well, as a rule of thumb, you should replace windows all in one go. Here are the reasons why replacing windows all at once is more practical and makes more financial sense:
You’ll be able to save more money if you have your windows replaced all at once. If you crunch the numbers, the labor costs of one large window installation project is smaller than the combined costs of five separate projects. The savings you can enjoy are quite significant, especially given that labor costs account for a large chunk of home improvement budgets.
It’s also more practical to replace your windows all at once. If you were to replace them one at a time, there’s no guarantee the same contractor will be able to install your windows. In most cases, this results in uneven installation quality.
Demand for contractor services peaks in early spring and summer. As such, you’ll likely have a hard time getting an appointment during these seasons, let alone booking multiple appointments for multiple window replacement projects.
What if you don’t want the window replacement to disrupt your daily routine? Wouldn’t it be better to spread it out over a month to minimize disruption? Well, experienced installers can get the job quicker than you expect. It usually only takes two to three days for a team of experienced contractors to replace all of the windows in an average-sized home and clean up the construction debris.
Keep in mind that some windows are harder to install. For instance, casement windows aren’t too difficult to install. Bay windows, on the other hand, will take longer to install because contractors have to carve out a bigger opening in your wall. As such, you’ll need to factor the window type as well.
No need to worry though—any qualified contractor should be able to give you a rough timeline for the window replacement.
