As you might already know, new replacement windows can easily set you back $10,000, $20,000, or even more. Not only that, replacement windows are almost always something that a window installation company must do, which drives up labor costs.
But a sash replacement kit—often available from big-name window makers such as Pella, Marvin, and Andersen—replaces only the top and bottom sashes of your window. All of the framing stays in place. By keeping the framing, you also get to keep the exterior window casing—another big job.
So if your window framing is in otherwise decent condition, it's worth looking into sash replacement kits.
