Plan Ahead To Reduce Problems With Window Replacment Projects

Anyone who has ever done a home remodeling project know that sometimes things just don't go as planned

. Problems can range from the simply inconvenient to the downright expensive. By planning out every step of the job as carefully as possible you can hopefully reduce problems and save both time and money.

When you are planning a home improvement project make sure you understand the scope of the work, have the skills to complete the job successfully, and have the right tools for the job. Evaluate your abilities honestly so you know what jobs you can tackle yourself and which are best left to the professionals.

One common project is installing new replacement windows to replace damaged or energy inefficient windows in your home. Be careful though, as a poorly executed window replacement job can lead to leaky windows, reduced energy savings, or other problems.

The critical first step in any window replacement is making sure the new windows will fit into the space occupied by the old windows. The old saying, "Measure twice, cut once." really applies here. When measuring replacement windows you need to be precise: A small error now can have serious repercussions later.

The best way to get an accurate measurement really is to have the windows measured twice. Measure them once yourself, and use that measurement when you call around to get estimates for the new windows. Whether you plan to install the windows yourself or have a contractor do it, you will need those initial measurements to get an estimate. Make sure to record the width first, and then the height. You'll want to measure both the width and the height in three places to reduce errors.

Once you have selected a window supplier, have them come out and measure the windows again before you place the order. Do this whether you plan to install the windows yourself or have them installed professionally. The vendor will be an expert at measuring replacement windows and will either confirm the accuracy of your measurements or make any needed corrections
