Over the winter, your house was a bit drafty and you had a hard time keeping your home warm. You know summer is right around the corner and you're worried you won't be able to keep your home cool during western Colorado's brutal temperatures.

Replacing your windows probably isn't something you're looking forward to. Luckily, our friends at Renewal by Andersen are here to help. Their professional team is here to help you through the window replacement process. Here are a few of the common mistakes made when replacing your windows.

1. Choosing the Wrong Window

There are many factors when it comes to choosing the proper window for your home. You must consider the brand of your window. Like most consumer products, brand matters. Renewal by Andersen offers an exclusive product "backed by one of the strongest limited warranties in the industry." Their windows are ENERGY-Star qualified, feature Fibrex composite materials that last longer and perform better than vinyl, and have every style to match your home.

2. Sticking with the Same Windows

You've had the same windows on your house since, forever. Why not just order the same style and brand as before. Truth is, improved technology may be the deciding factor. This includes energy efficiency, new and longer-lasting materials, and newer styles. It's best if you work with a professional, like Renewal by Andersen, to get a complete walk-through of all the features available on today's windows.

3. Buying Based on Price

Of course, you want to save as much money as possible. Buying windows because they're the cheapest could potentially cause issues in years to come -- remember, you get what you pay for. Renewal by Andersen takes you through the entire process, working with you to make sure you're getting the right product that fits your needs. When all said and done, you'll know your windows were installed professionally, backed by Andersen's limited warranty on both the product and installation.

4. Replacing Windows On Your Own

Still trying to save a few bucks? Replacing your windows isn't an easy DYI project. You really do need to hire a professional like Renewal by Andersen. Their professional installers are passionate about their craft and ensure your windows are installed properly. Renewal by Andersen even warranties the installation of your windows.
