Isn’t it less expensive to just tear out old windows and replace them with new windows?
Not usually. The reason is because quality new windows are fairly expensive. And if you try to save money by putting in cheap new windows, you will need to replace them again in only a few years. That will probably end up costing more in the long run, and there will be a lot of time and frustration spent along the way. As with most things, it pays to do it right the first time.
