Common Mistakes in Window Replacement
Window Replacement with new energy-efficient windows can be a huge money saver, but only if you do it right. Take a look at the 5 most common mistakes homeowners make when they decide to replace their windows.
1. Improperly Installing Windows
Even the most energy-efficient windows you can get your hands on will do no good if they’re not installed properly. This is the most common mistake Aspen Home Improvements’ window specialists see homeowners make when replacing their Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland. home’s windows. Not only will energy-efficiency decrease, but the windows will wear more quickly, meaning they’ll need to be replaced again even sooner.
2. Trying to Do It Yourself
If you’re the DIY type, it may be tempting to replace the windows on your own, but unless you have experience and training, it might not be the best idea. Remember mistake number 1 we mentioned above? Hiring a local home improvement professional, like our trained team at Aspen, to install your windows is worth the extra cost. You will save money in the long run with a window that will keep drafts out and won’t wear due to improper installation.
3. Opting for Off-Brand Windows
If you’re looking to save money on your window replacement project, off-brand windows might sound appealing, but it’s always a better idea to go with a well-known name. Brands like our line of Starmark and Insul-Tec 500 windows respected in the industry for their energy-efficiency and functionality. Do your research and then talk to one of our specialists to find the right fit for you!
4. Using Cost as your Main Search Factor
We get that cost is a big factor in any home improvement project, but windows are one of those places that you should look to invest a bit more. Buying based on price alone could leave you with a window that’s worse then the ones you currently have. Yikes!

What Homeowners Say About Aspen
Very good working with this company. Product is good. Like family owned business… very friendly! Purchased a new sliding door and window.
Wonderful people to work with! In order to replace the door, they had to remove the original woodwork, but once it was in they put it back up so well that we can't see a difference. Everyone was great. The salesman, the technician that did the work and the person that did the follow up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
The experience was awesome. Luke, our sales person, was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable and willing to get the answers we needed. The install was easy. They communicated throughout the process. I would recommend Aspen to anyone.
Great window quality. Customer service has been good with taking care of a few minor issues. Nice little gift box when they come for a final review.
Very grateful that this company would tackle the siding on our vintage log cabin. The crew that did the work had weather challenges with several snow events, but the work is well done and we've had compliments as to how Nice our house looks. Thank you Aspen!
