What to Look for When Choosing and Purchasing Replacement Windows

When it's time to replace your windows, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to make sure you choose the right ones. In this blog post, we'll discuss the different factors to consider when choosing replacement windows, as well as some tips for purchasing them.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Replacement Windows
Material: Replacement windows are typically made from one of three materials: vinyl, wood, or aluminum. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Vinyl windows are the most affordable and energy-efficient option, but they're not as durable as wood or aluminum windows. Wood windows are more expensive than vinyl windows, but they're more durable and can be painted or stained to match your home's exterior. Aluminum windows are the most durable option, but they're also the most expensive.
Style: Replacement windows come in a variety of styles, including single-hung, double-hung, casement, awning, and sliding. The style you choose will depend on the look of your home and your personal preferences.
Size: Replacement windows should be the same size as your existing windows. However, if you're replacing windows that are more than 20 years old, you may need to have the window openings enlarged.
Energy efficiency: Replacement windows can help you save money on your energy bills by reducing heat loss and gain. Look for windows with a high Energy Star rating, which indicates that they meet certain energy-efficiency standards.
Warranty: Replacement windows should come with a warranty of at least 10 years. This warranty will protect you in case the windows fail prematurely.
Tips for Purchasing Replacement Windows
Get multiple quotes: Before you purchase replacement windows, get quotes from at least three different contractors. This will help you ensure you're getting the best possible price.
Read the contract carefully: Before you sign a contract for replacement windows, read it carefully. Make sure you understand all of the terms and conditions, including the price, the warranty, and the installation schedule.
Be prepared for the installation: The installation of replacement windows can take several days. Make sure you're prepared for the disruption by clearing away any furniture or belongings that could be in the way of the installers.

The owner (Don) was very informative, professional and polite. It took the windows about 4 weeks to be delivered. Don called me and set an appointment. The installer did a good clean job. Don came by after installation and made sure we were happy with the work & the windows. We are very pleased with both and strongly recommend...

I shopped several window companies and The Window Source had the best price for quality windows. Don and his crew did a great job installing 12 windows plus a custom window in our entry. Don was very informative and after the job was done, he did a follow up with us. I was very pleased with his work and would recommend him to anyone.

just had all new windows installed by Window Source. We can already tell a big difference in energy savings!! They look great – curb appeal and view from inside is spectacular. Their top-of-the-line windows were more reasonably priced than the medium grade ‘big box’ store quotes. Don was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work...

Well let me start by saying my window look amazing!! Don at window source came out and measured and talked all the options over with me . We made final decisions and they look amazing. The crew who put them in were on time and cleans up everything after they were done !! Looks like no one has been here !! Couldn’t be for satisfied with the prices or the service!!!

My dream came true with getting my new windows after being in my home for 23 years! The installation was completed the same day and very professionally! I am a very happy customer! Don was so patient with me being in a panic after dealing with another company that was dishonest in their estimate, but The Window Source was a wonderful choice..

We recently used Don and The Window Source of Memphis to replace 23 windows and 2 doors in our home and have been exceptionally pleased with both the process and results. At the time of our first meeting with Don, we had already met with several other contractors/salesmen and had quickly become disenchanted with the prices being offered...

We couldn't have had a better experience with Don and The Window Source of Memphis, and are pleased to confidently recommend his services. After gathering quotes and a plethora of information through meetings with Home Depot (for Simonton replacement windows), Krone, Pella, and Champion windows, we moved forward confidently and excitedly...
Ann P.
I love our new windows! I also love that I was able to sit down with Don and order the look that I wanted as well as the quality I desired for what I consider a truly fair price. The installation was done very professionally, 15 in one day, and the customer service has been wonderful even when we've been idiots. Am so glad I went with Window Source rather than...

These guys did an amazing job on my house. We had 20 windows replaced and was amazed at how fast they did it. Very professional install crews, sales was very straight forward no gimmicks or high pressure tactics , and all at a fair price, and the windows look great. For a job that requires quite a bit of mess getting old windows out, these guys left no mess...
