When you do upgrades to your home, you want to make sure you are investing in upgrades that can really improve your home's value and functionality. Window replacements do both. According to Market Watch, the average cost to replace a window in your home can run between $467 to $1,333. It's a good idea to get a price quote first. Here are a few reasons why you need to get a quote on replacement windows.

1. Your Windows Are Damaged

Once damage has happened to a window, chances are it'll get worse. If moisture can get down into cracked glass, it can freeze, expand, and make things worse quickly. You can't ignore damage to your windows. To avoid further problems, you should contact window contractors and have them give you a quote on replacement windows.

2. Your Windows Are Aging

Most windows will have an average life span of 15 to 25 years, according to our team. Once they pass this life span, or even a little before, you'll start to lose functionality in the windows. You may notice windows sticking, getting drafty, or even making noises. All of these are signs that you should get a quote for replacement windows.

3. Your Windows Are Outdated

Outdated windows are a bit different from aging windows. Your windows could still be well within their lifespan, but the appearance of the windows doesn't match your exterior after other upgrades have been made. This is an aesthetic issue, but it's an important one. You want your windows to match the exterior of your home. If you're doing upgrades to siding or shutters, you need to upgrade windows as well. Local window contractors can provide you with a quote on this.

4. Your Windows Aren't Energy Efficient

Your windows play a huge role in your home's energy efficiency. Windows should be able to keep heat out during the summer and keep heat in during the winter. If your windows aren't doing this well, you'll start to notice energy bills creeping up and up. New energy-efficient windows can fix this problem and help you save more money on your energy costs for cooling and heating.
