While it’s tempting to install your new replacement windows on your own to save money, window replacement is a complicated endeavor that requires expertise. Working with a local window contractor in Cincinnati will likely save you more money in the long run than a DIY installation.
In this post, the window experts at Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati explain why DIY window replacement isn’t worth it.
Poor installation is the source of many window problems, which is why it’s always better to hire a local window contractor than to DIY. If your measurements are even slightly off, your new windows might not be as energy-efficient as you’d like. Poor installation will compromise your home’s energy efficiency and comfort levels, on top of reducing your windows’ service life.
Mistakes are far more common with DIY projects than professional ones; even seasoned DIYers are not free from committing amateur errors. Window replacement, unfortunately, is one area you can’t afford to make mistakes with due to the high impact the hardware has on the entire home. You will find yourself needing to call in a professional eventually – and paying even more to repair. So why not do it right from the start?
Failure to measure and size your windows precisely results in gaps. This leads to tremendous energy loss in your home and can make your windows expand and contract faster, too. Your energy bills – and your wallet will feel the pain.
Finally, doing DIY window replacement means you have to settle for mediocre window materials, especially for the glass and frame. As your most trusted window replacement company in Cincy, we use high-quality Fibrex® window frames and high-performance glass for our windows. The result is highly durable and energy-efficient windows.
