Replacing your windows can be a significant expense. Therefore, you should take the time to plan everything carefully to stay on schedule and on budget. To help you on your new window journey, here are some budgeting tips that will allow you to get your dream windows without breaking the bank.

1. Plan ahead

Jumping straight into a window replacement project without considering where the money will come from is a surefire way to get into financial trouble. First, figure out what type of windows you need (or want) and how much it will cost to install. Next, think about where the money will come from. This will tell you if you can afford to splurge or if it’s better to stick to something more basic.

2. Consider potential tax credits

Keep in mind that potential tax credits can come into play. So keep this in mind when creating your window budget. To take full advantage of the energy credits offered by the government, learn about energy efficient windows and plan accordingly.

3. Don’t forget about the cost of removing old windows

Many homeowners make the mistake of not budgeting for the cost of removing their old windows. Don’t be one of them. Some contractors charge an additional fee to remove your old windows and also remove any debris that is left. While it’s not a huge expense, it’s still worth considering.
