Are you replacing your vinyl windows and wondering which installation method is best for you? In this video, I break down the two main styles of window installation: New Construction and Retrofit Replacement – and help you decide which one fits your needs and budget.

🔹 New Construction Installation – Ideal for full remodels or when redoing stucco/siding. This method involves going back to the studs, reflashing, and requires additional drywall and exterior work.
🔹 Retrofit (Replacement) Windows – A quicker, more cost-effective solution that allows you to upgrade your windows without major structural changes.

💰 Cost Comparison:
✅ Retrofit Windows – More affordable, typically installed in 1-2 days.
✅ New Construction – Higher cost (2.5–3x more), but perfect for full renovations.
