Choosing energy efficient options and accessories for your home, such as windows, is a generally no-brainer. However, when it comes to stucco, windows can be difficult to replace without damaging the stucco exterior. Ideally, you would replace old windows before having stucco installed. However, it’s possible you’re in the position of needing new windows in your stucco home without the budget of a complete exterior overhaul. Learn about common problems that occur in stucco when replacing windows and what you can do about them.
Common Problems With Stucco Windows Replacement
Although stucco is an extraordinarily durable exterior, handling it properly requires a high level of knowledge and expertise. Without the presence of a stucco specialist, stucco may not survive the sharp tools and pressure that window replacement can necessitate. To prepare for the damage, you’ll want to work with experts in stucco repair and in window installation, specifically in stucco homes. Here are some factors that can lead to problems with stucco window replacement.
- Age/Type of Windows Being Replaced: Wooden windows are generally easier to replace than aluminum windows. This is because more extensive cuts are typically necessary with aluminum to remove the framing.
- Precision of the Damage: Not all damage is created equal. Depending on the location and the extensiveness of the damage, the cost for repair will vary. DIY repairs or inexperienced fixes by a window installation company will only create deeper, more expensive problems.
- Original Stucco Installation: Whenever you take on a restoration project in your home, you open yourself up to the unknown. Some homes with stunning stucco exteriors are simply facades that hide improper installation. However, if your original stucco was applied correctly by a professional stucco installation company, your chances of the stucco being restored to its original appearance improve greatly.
To minimize your home restoration stress, consider hiring a company that is known for its expertise in stucco, windows, water issues, and so much more.
