Replacing your windows can be a considerable expense. As such, you’ll want to take the time to plan everything carefully in order to stay on schedule and within budget. To help you in your new window journey, here are a few budgeting tips that will allow you to get your dream windows without putting too much stress on your bank account.
1. Plan Ahead
Jumping into a window replacement project head on without considering where the money will be coming from is one sure way to get in trouble financially. First, figure out what kind of windows you need (or want), and find out exactly how much they will cost to install. Next, think about where the money will come from. This will tell you whether or not you can afford to splurge or if it’s better to stick to something more basic.
2. Consider Potential Tax Credits
Remember, there may be potential tax credits that can come into play so be sure to take this into account when creating your window budget. To take full advantage of the energy credits that the government offers, study up on energy-efficient windows and plan accordingly.
3. Don’t Forget the Cost of Getting Rid of Old Windows
A lot of homeowners make the mistake of not factoring in the cost of getting rid of their old windows when planning their budgets. Don’t be one of them. Some contractors will charge an extra fee to remove your old windows and also get rid of any debris that is left over. While it may not be a huge cost, it is still worth considering.
