There’s never been a better time to shop for replacement windows for your Rancho Santa Margarita home.

However, before you rip out style inspiration from your favorite design magazine, there are some important questions to take into consideration. By taking the time to ask yourself the following questions you’ll ensure you bring home windows that work for your home in a number of areas for years to come.
What are my replacement window goals?
While it may sound strange to have “goals” for your replacement windows, it’s important to remember that not all homeowners are looking for the same thing while window shopping. This is the ideal time to remember consider where your previous windows fell short and to set new expectations for your replacement windows. For example, you may want windows that are more energy efficient, or perhaps you want windows that offer enhanced security for your home. The more clear you are on your expectations the easier it will be to know what features to look for.
What are my short term and long term replacement window budgets?
Many homeowners hit the showroom floor knowing how much they are willing to spend on their initial replacement window investment, meaning the price of the actual windows. However, few consider their long term replacement window budgets. Your long term budget includes the costs that occur over time for things like upkeep, maintenance, repairs and the eventual replacement of the windows. By having a clear idea on what you’re willing to spend as the years pass, you’ll be able to narrow down which window materials are right for your home.
How much time am I willing to spend?
Similar to your budget, it’s important how much time you’ll be willing to spend on the upkeep and maintenance of your replacement windows. For example, some window materials like wood require annual peeling, sanding, painting and staining while others like vinyl or fiberglass only require the occasional cleaning with soap and water. Making this decision ahead of time will help you avoid being stuck with any unwanted chores.
Am I planning on selling my home anytime soon?
If you plan on selling your home in the near future, that goal should be at the center of any home improvement projects, including replacement windows. After all, some real estate reports have shown that homes with replacement vinyl windows installed sell at a higher price than those without them.
