Do you have drafty old double-hung windows and want to rebuild the window sash instead
of replacing the entire window?
This quick video from diyornot compares the cost of doing it yourself with hiring a pro.
A carpenter will charge $450 to rebuild a 30 x 54-inch window with a sash replacement
kit. You can buy the kit for $325 and install it and save 28% by doing it yourself.
The DIY poll shows more than 70% would do the job while only 29% would hire it out.
The pro cost comes from averaging the data in construction estimating books that contractors
use.
Here's the numbers again. A carpenter will charge $450, you can do it yourself for $325.
