Cost of New Windows

When it comes to calculating the cost of your window replacement project, there are many things you need to take into consideration. You will need to consider the windows’ size, amount of windows required, the desired window style, and frame quality.

Styles of Windows

The type of window that you decide to install or upgrade with will depend on your goals and what style you are going for. If you live in an old house, and you are trying to stay true to the original windows then you may decide to go for a fixed picture window, awning, or casement window. If you want to go for energy efficiency than you may opt for double hung, single hung, or sliding sash windows. Lets take a look at the popular options:

Single Hung Windows

The single hung windows are also a very popular option in the Black Hills, praised for their usability and affordability. The difference between the double-hung and the single hung being that the top sash is stationary and does not move

Double Hung Windows

The Double-hung window is the most popular window in this series. It has two operational sashes, on sliding from the bottom, upwards, and the other sliding from the top, downwards to open the window and allow air into the room. This system also allows owners to tilt the windows inward to easily clean both sides without going outside.

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows are a great option for people looking for windows that provide optimal light and love flexibility. These windows have two large sashes hung sid-by-side and can be opened from either side.

Garden Window

This elegant window is great for the plant lover in your household. Their box shape is fully extended into the outdoors, giving herbs and flowers full light. Keep in mind these windows do not work for every home layout, but could a perfect touch for your Rapid City home.

Casement Windows

This simple style has a single sash with a hinge located on either side of the frame. A low profile handle allows the window to be opened to the outside and closed easily with a one-step locking system.

Awning Windows

These windows are great for basement rooms. They have a single sash, with a hinge on top of the frame and an easy closing locking handle on the bottom.

Picture Windows

Picture windows are also an excellent option for maximum light exposure. This simple frame offers an unobstructed view of the beauty of the Black Hills. This type of window remains stationary and does not open.

More About Windows

Windows are an important choice when designing your new Rapid City home or doing renovations. They allow ventilation, natural light, and are a way you can express your creativity on the exterior of your home. On the practical side, window replacement allows you to choose a window that will increase energy efficiency and decrease outside noise, which promotes quiet in your home and saves you money on utilities every month.

Window Replacement

Recognizing the signs that you may need to replace your windows is a valuable skill to have as a homeowner. To our team of skilled professionals, spotting a window that is in dire need of replacement is easy, but for most homeowners, it’s tough to know when the perfect time is to replace your windows. These are some of the most common signs you can use to gauge whether or not it is time to upgrade your existing windows.

Drafts

Anyone that lives in a drafty house, especially during the cold and windy winter months understands how uncomfortable drafts can make the interior of the home. While a draft could be a sign of improper sealing around the window or not enough insulation, it’s still a good idea to have a professional take a look to help you determine if the window needs to be replaced. Drafts also cause strain on your home’s heating system, as the boiler or furnace has to work even harder to keep the interior of your home a consistent temperature.

Condensation Buildup

When the seals inside a window or around a window in the frame are compromised, it causes a buildup of water that over time can cause some major damage. During the winter, when temperatures drop below freezing the water trapped inside the window will expand, which may cause cracking. The long term presence of water will eventually rot the window frame and cause the entire window to sag or bow.

Excess Noise

As much as you may like your home to be impervious to outside noise like dogs barking, loud cars, or sirens it is almost impossible unless you live in a rural area. That being said, you can still install windows that put a serious damper on outside noise. If you currently have single-pane windows, even upgrading to a double pane window will dramatically reduce the amount of noise you hear from outside.
