What Are The Costs Involved In Window Installation?



If you're thinking of getting new windows installed because you're sick of dealing with increased energy costs, cold and drafty air in the winter months of the year, and foggy windows that you can't see through, one of the questions you might have is how much the window installation will cost. When it comes to window installation, there are many factors to consider, and looking for window companies in Toronto will be helpful in narrowing your costs down to a more accurate level.

What Are Some Things To Consider With Window Installation Costs?

Type Of Window


The type of window you're wanting to get installed plays a large role in how you'll be paying. If you're going with a standard, small picture window in your living room, that cost will be drastically different in comparison to getting an entire bay window installed. Windows also come with different pane options, and certain window installation procedures require a little more labor than others.

Professionalism

Another thing that needs to be considered when thinking about the costs for window installation is the expertise and professionalism of the company you're considering hiring. There are many window companies in Toronto, and it can be difficult to narrow it down to just one. The more complicated the window installation will be, the more expensive it will cost. With more complex installations, you're going to want to select a window installation company that has the experience to do the job properly.

When you're wanting to get new windows installed, it isn't always recommended to hire the cheapest crew you find. A window company that has been in the industry for ten years, comes with all types of insurance, and provides a good warranty package will typically cost you more in comparison to a handyman down the street that has only installed three windows in their life.

Size Of The Window

In the window industry, size plays a large factor in how much a window will cost. Bigger windows are more complicated and laborious to install. They are heavier and will require multiple people to haul the window to the location of your home where it will be installed.

Accessibility To The Location Of Installation

If you're wanting a large window to be installed in a location of your home that's very hard to reach, contains numerous trees around the area, and during the middle of winter, you might expect the installation costs to be a little higher in comparison to having a small window installed in an easily-accessible part of your home that doesn't have anything in the way.

Window Materials

The materials you're going with play a large part in the overall costs involved, as well. There are many different types of glass that you can get for your windows. A single-pane window will be much cheaper than a triple-pane window, but you'll also have less energy efficiency coming from the single-pane window. Depending on the material you want for your window frame, hardware, and other things, the price will reflect that.

Window Engineering

The engineering required for your windows plays a large role in how much it will cost. Things to consider are:

● Size
● Shape
● Weight

If you're wanting a fully customized window that needs to be specifically manufactured from step one, you can expect the costs to reflect that.

Installing It Yourself Or Hiring A Window Company

Some people like to think they can do a full window installation on their own and tend to compare it to every other DIY project that people try doing. That misconception can cause people to mistakenly install windows the wrong way and result in them having to remove the window and get it done right in the future when they are still experiencing cold and drafty air in the winter. If you've never installed a window before, it always pays to get it done professionally.

Depending on how many windows you want to be installed and how detailed the job is, mistakes can occur very easily. From insulation problems to not being able to fit panes into the window frame, to not making measurements properly, there are too many errors that can potentially occur with window installation that it just makes sense to pay a little more for increased peace of mind. Windows aren't a cheap investment, and you won't want to be squandering your money away by throwing that investment away by trying to install them yourself.

A professional contractor will also follow up with your window installation and make sure that everything is functioning how it should be.

Tough Window Installations

A DIY skillset can only go so far. If you've had the chance to learn how to install windows before, then by all means, go ahead and try installing windows on your own. If you aren't confident in your skills, then you'll be wishing you picked up the phone or emailed a window contractor before you decided to pull your old windows out and realized that you don't have the skills or experience to install the new window in place.

Lifespan Of Windows

A tiny error during the installation of your window can result in the lifespan of your window being diminished. The improperly installed window will require more maintenance and end up costing more down the road in comparison to just paying a professional in the first place. In addition, if anything ends up happening to your window down the road, you'll be able to claim the warranty much easier if you got a professional window contractor to install the windows.

Building Code

One of the biggest factors why you should consider hiring a professional window contractor is adherence to the building code. Most DIY types of people aren't aware of all of the building codes required for installing windows, and that can cause issues later down the road.

If you’re looking for window companies in Toronto, consider contacting HTR Windows and Doors. You can rest assured in knowing they’ll do a great job every time, and you’ll never have to worry about your window installation being done the wrong way.
