Are you interested in replacement casement windows? (Those are the windows that swing back and forth on a hinged sash.)
If that’s true for you, you probably have a question on your mind right now: “How easy will it be?”
But that’s actually several questions. Let’s break them down and take a look at each, one by one.
The difficulty of replacement casement windows will range from moderately easy (if you have to change out only one part, such as a single broken window pane or a rusted crank mechanism) to somewhat challenging (if the entire casement window, sash and all, needs to be replaced).
The replacement casement windows project gets even more complex when the work has to be done on an upper story of your home. The age of your current window is another complicating factor – it’s almost always harder to find parts, such as a new casement window sash, for an older model.
Hire a company experienced at replacing casement windows. Their technicians will be trained to work quickly and efficiently. In addition, they will have sources and contacts within the industry, so they’ll be well equipped to track down any replacement parts you might need.
It shouldn’t be too hard. Just do an online search that’s specific about where you live and what you’re looking for (for example, replacing a Pella casement window sash).
The cost varies according to whether you choose wood or vinyl casement windows. Wood tends to cost approximately twice the price of vinyl. Other factors that will determine cost are the size and shape of casements you require, and whether you plan to upgrade your casement windows with, for instance, energy efficient features or a smart home lock sensor.
