Should I Replace All of My Windows at Once?

Shane's Glass • May 05, 2021

Searched for “window replacement near me” and planning to replace your windows but are not sure whether you should change them all at once or go at it one room at a time? This blog entry will help you decide what to do when facing a window replacement dilemma.


If your windows are nearing the end of their lifespan, then the best and most obvious thing for you to do is to get replacement windows. Some homeowners, however, find it hard to decide how to approach this matter and often ask themselves, “Should I replace all my windows at once?”. 


We will answer that question here. But before we do, let’s have a look at the advantages of getting replacement windows.

The Advantages of Window Replacement

There are many advantages of updating your windows with a good replacement. Chances are that you already know some of them, especially if you’ve done your research.


First of all, new windows can boost the value of your home when you’re ready to sell. Home buyers these days are more informed than ever and do heaps of research before going home shopping. If they notice that a home’s windows are needing replacement, the idea of having to spend more money for window replacement might reduce the price they are willing to spend.


Second, modern windows, specifically double-glazed units and ENERGY STAR certified windows, can help to improve the overall energy efficiency of your home. And with an energy-efficient home, you get to enjoy lower electricity bills and provide a more comfortable space for your family.


Third, newer windows come with features that make them more secure and safer than older windows. These features include innovative locks and security sensors. For maximum security, replace your old windows with a casement window. This window style is considered to be the most secure of all available options.


Lastly, most of today’s new windows are designed to be easy to maintain. Windows with easy-clean features allow you to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying life with your family.


Now, let’s go back to the question.

Window Replacement: All at Once or One at a Time? 

When it comes to matters relating to home improvement, including window installation and replacement projects, it depends on your budget and the work that needs to be done.


If you have a single window that needs to be replaced, then you should act on it soon as possible. Old, damaged windows are no longer energy efficient and they pose a safety risk for everyone in your household. And if the problem involves a relatively new window with broken glass from accidental damage, you need to have the problem sorted by a window glass replacement company immediately.


If you want to replace all the windows in your home and have the budget for it, then do it. That way, you can get it out of the way and not have to worry about it anymore. You also get to maximise the advantages offered by new replacement windows.


But if your finances are limited but you really want to update your windows, you can break up the project into multiple stages and do the replacements by room or area. The first stage is for replacing the bedroom windows, the second stage for the living room windows, and so on. For homes with multiple floors, we suggest replacing the windows on the lower floor first and then replace the second-floor windows at a different time.
