HOW TO COMPARE THE COST OF DIFFERENT REPLACEMENT WINDOWS  Consider Maintenance Requirements  Wooden windows are often more affordable than materials like aluminum or fiberglass, but they require more maintenance to keep in proper working order over time. Think about the maintenance requirements of windows when purchasing them and factor those costs into the costs of your windows as well. You might not want to perform maintenance regularly on your windows, which means that you’ll have to spend the extra cash for low-maintenance windows instead.  Think About the Warranty  Warranty is another important consideration when buying windows and considering the cost of them. A comprehensive warranty is worth added money on top of the price of a standard window. A good solid warranty guarantees that you’ll enjoy long-lasting performance from your new windows after they are installed. Without a long-term warranty there’s a better chance that the windows will fail prematurely and that you’ll be left paying the cost of repairs in the future.
