Windows and Skylights
Skylights add architectural interest, inside and out, and allow natural light to come in through the ceiling. A skylight can be installed just for looks or as part of a passive-solar heating strategy. Do some research and youll find a wide variety of designs, materials and added components. One drawback is that, if installed incorrectly or with poor materials, skylights can leak around the edges or the glass can crack. For that reason, if youre going to have a skylight installed, go high end or not at all.Conventional windows come in many varieties. The most important factor is weather resistance. More than 20 percent of the heating and cooling losses in the average home can be blamed on windows. Look for windows with the Energy Star label, indicating that they are energy efficient. Windows are rated by U-Factor. The lower the U-factor, the better, and often the more expensive. Paying more for better, more energy-efficient windows should save you a little bit in your utility bills, and that could be significant over time. But if youre into immediate gratification, know that better windows will make you feel more comfortable in your home.
New windows generally come with warranties.
Garage Doors
The first decision to make is whether you want to pull open your garage or just use a clicker. Manual garages, though much cheaper and easier to install than their automatic counterparts, are quickly going the way of the passenger pigeon. Thats because of the convenience of the remote control. Its hard to resist. Automatic doors are generally sold separately from the openers, so make sure that theyre compatible. A heavy wood door for a three car garage is going to require significantly more horsepower than a metal single-car variety. Before you shop for your door, make sure you find out permits that are required and whether your neighborhood has any restrictions about colors or materials that can be used. Your contractor should be able to do this for you, but don't make any assumptions.The cost of the doors will depend on the materials used, the style and the size. Some come with windows, which can add more visual interest, though they can be a security concern. Custom doors of irregular sizes could be significantly more expensive than standard doors. In much of American suburbia, the garage door is the homes most prominent feature, so, if youre planning a replacement, you might want to hire a professional and do it right.
If the garage door window is plastic then the cost should be around 25-50 depending on the size. If the window is made of glass then you will spend around 100 dollars depending on size.
Depends on door probly around 50-100$, make the sob who broke it pay for it.
