Inspecting and Replacing Windows

Before you close the deal on your home purchase you will want to acquire an inspection report that takes into account the windows of the home. Replacing windows in a home can cost thousands of dollars. If you only need to replace a single pane, you may get off with spending a couple of hundred dollars. But if you need to replace an entire window assembly the cost can be over $1,000 for each window. If the home has 30 windows you could be facing a $30,000 bill – a surprise no homeowner ever wants to receive. Here’s how to avoid such a surprise.
