As tempting as it is to DIY with new vinyl windows, it’s not at all a good idea. Installing vinyl windows is firmly in the DDIY category. Why is that? A number of reasons! Here are just a few to consider.

The Timeline

When you take on a home improvement project, chances are you have a timeline in mind. Do you want the installation to take weeks or even months? Of course not! You want it to take a day or two. But do you have that time to commit to the project? And even if you do, can you do it as fast as a professional? Chances are that you can’t! If you want a reasonable timeline, professional help is a must.

Professionalism

We’re sure that you’re good at a lot of things, but unless you work with windows on a regular basis and have training directly from the manufacturer that created the windows, you aren’t qualified to install them. Anything less than perfection will give you substandard performance, which is the very last thing you want when you have high-quality vinyl windows picked out.

Cost Effectiveness

Sure DIY is cheaper when it comes to vinyl windows, but in the end, it can cost more. If you make a mistake, you’ll have to pay to fix it. If you get the windows in and they’re not quite right, you’ll be paying out the nose on your utility bills, even though you’re supposed to pay less with vinyl windows! DDIY is definitely more cost effective for the long haul.
