Storm windows are a must-have for homes where hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and other severe weather are an issue. These reinforced windows can also save you on heating and cooling costs thanks to their added insulation. But before you start saving on electric bills, we’ve rounded up questions to ask about storm windows when working with an installation company.
1. How many windows do you need?
The average home has around eight windows, but this can vary greatly by house. If you plan on installing storm windows over all of your existing window panes, it's important to let a professional know how many windows you have and how many you plan on installing storm windows in. This will give them a good idea of the project’s scope so they can give you a more accurate quote and timeline.
You might decide that you only want the most vulnerable windows in your home to have storm window protection to save on costs. Depending on the square footage, the average storm window costs between $275 and $2,200 apiece.
2. When do you need this work done?
If you live in a location prone to hurricanes, you'll want to install storm windows in advance of hurricane season. Since this is a popular time for homeowners to prepare for storms, it can be harder to find a pro who has the flexibility to install storm windows if you cut it too close to this busy time of year. On the contrary, if you wait until winter when the weather is cold, it could be harder for a professional to access your windows.
Consider waiting until early spring to get a head start on storm window installations before the busy season picks up. Installers have more wiggle room during the slow season and may offer lower rates.
3. What is the nature of this project?
Some windows are easier to access than others, so consider the nature of installing storm windows on your home when discussing the project with a local window installation company. Let your pro know if your home has multiple stories, hard-to-reach windows, or irregular windows that may require custom storm windows, as this could delay the project by taking longer to install or order parts.
4. What is the location of the storm windows?
You can install storm windows on the interior or exterior of existing windows. So, talk with your pro about the best place to install storm windows during your initial consultation and create a plan that works for your home. Exterior storm windows cost the most overall, but they’re more effective at protecting both your home’s exterior and interior.
