Deciding what to do with old windows is hardly an easy task. On one hand, you want to preserve the historic appeal of your home and on the other, the windows are unsightly and taking their toll on your energy bills.
Renewal by Andersen® of Rochester, the expert in window replacement in Winona, MN shares this post to help you make an informed decision.
Restoring old windows
Generally, it seems easier to restore the old windows and just make them energy-efficient. You get to retain the original materials and design. Keep in mind, however, that unless you’re doing the job yourself, the costs may be the same as replacing the windows entirely. In addition, the time it takes for a complete restoration is usually longer than that of a replacement.
Windows replacement
There are instances when replacing old windows is the only option. For instance, if your windows are over 30 years old, then restoring them won’t make much sense. This is because whatever damage they may have sustained would most likely be beyond any repair. Rotted frames, drafts, and unusually high energy bills are all valid reasons to schedule a replacement.
Replacing old windows can be a great way to give your historic home a more modern appeal. You can also enjoy better savings on your energy costs since Renewal by Andersen windows provides superior insulation to your home.
