From the material you choose to the size of your doors to how many windows you're replacing, there are a number of factors that impact the cost of your replacement. To bring as much transparency as possible to the process, we'll explore the cost considerations that come into play as you plan your project.
__________
Ultrex fiberglass vs Fibrex®
Made with 100% fiberglass strands, Ultrex is 3x stronger than Fibrex vinyl/wood composite. So while fiberglass may lend itself to higher initial replacement costs, it's built to last.
__________
Ultrex fiberglass vs. wood
While the cost of wood and fiberglass is comparable, fiberglass only requires occasional cleaning, while wood requires more intensive upkeep like scraping, painting, or staining. These maintenance costs can add up over the life of your windows and doors.
__________
Ultrex fiberglass vs. vinyl
8x stronger than vinyl, Ultrex resists the warping and shifting that can make it difficult to open and close your windows and patio doors. While vinyl may be more inexpensive up front, it tends to expand and contract, leading to problems down the road.

The material you choose for your windows and patio doors can have a big impact on the cost of your project. It's not as simple as going with the cheapest option. Some materials come with a higher price tag than vinyl or certain woods. However, opting for a material with increased durability and lower maintenance can reduce costs over time.
DIY installation can cut down on external labor costs, but homeowners have to weigh the cost vs. benefit of this approach as with all DIY projects. A professional will ensure the right product is ordered and installation is done properly — the first time.
It's no surprise the more windows you install, the higher your costs, but your budget can also be impacted by the style and size of the windows you choose. Intricate styles and larger sizes can be more expensive on their own, but they're also more complicated and costly to install.
Your windows and doors can be customized with higher-end finishes, hardware, design details, glass options, and functionality. All of which affect the cost of your project.
Window and door replacement is a project you only want to pay for once. Evaluate both product and installation warranties to ensure any future issues will be covered.
A proprietary material from Marvin, Ultrex fiberglass stands up to extreme climates, maintains a leak-proof fit, and protects the integrity of your home. It's exceptional strength that amplifies the beauty, comfort, and value of your home in a way other materials can't.
Between the painting and the replacing of the windows, it probably cost us less to replace the windows than it did the last 20 years’ worth of all of the maintenance on the previous windows."
