Choosing a big box store replacement window
Replacement windows can be tricky to buy at a bulk big box store because windows must fit the exact measurements of the window you are replacing. While large home improvement stores have several brands and styles, it is up to the homeowner to make sure the windows are an exact size for your home. Home improvement stores might be a convenient place to do an initial browsing of styles and materials of replacement windows to help in deciding the right replacement windows for you.
Because large home improvement stores don’t specialize in replacement windows, some staff may not have the same level of knowledge about the window products and replacement process as others. And the installer most often is not the same professional who sold the windows so if an issue arises there isn’t a consistent point of contact.
