False or true? 5 Myths about window replacement

Water damage in Houston

Hurricane season is here in Texas — is it time to replace your windows?
Old or damaged windows can put your property at risk. Upgrading to energy-efficient, impact-resistant windows helps protect your home and lower energy costs.

Let’s bust some common myths about window replacements that most people don’t talk about.


  1. WINDOW REPLACEMENTS ARE ALWAYS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE

While it’s not always a strict rule, there's usually a noticeable cost difference between replacing a few windows and doing a full-home replacement. Replacing all your windows at once often leads to better pricing per unit, reduced labor costs, and improved overall energy efficiency.

The final cost depends on several factors, including the material, window type, and style you choose. On average, replacement windows can range from $500 to $4,000 per window, depending on the quality and customization involved.

  1. ONLY REPLACE YOUR WINDOW DURING SPRING OR SUMMER.                                                                                                                                                                    Many people believe that window replacement should only happen during mild weather, especially when it’s not too cold outside. While that idea may seem sensible, it’s a myth.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Professional window replacement can be done year-round. Scheduling your project before the peak of summer heat can be a smart move, helping you improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort before temperatures spike.

 
  1. REPLACE YOUR WINDOWS ONLY WHEN THE OLD ONES ARE BROKEN


You don’t have to wait for your windows to be completely damaged before considering a replacement. Even if they're just outdated or underperforming, upgrading your windows can bring several key benefits:

  • Lower Energy Bills – Modern windows improve insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs.
     

  • Increased Property Value – Upgraded windows boost your home's resale value and curb appeal.
     

  • Better Energy Efficiency – Newer window technology helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature year-round.

  1. IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO REPLACE THEM
