Change window to "standard" size

Alex Zipeto
Posted

Hi all!

I recently bought my first rental property and up to this point it has been almost maintenance free. Recently one of the tenants let me know that one of the windows is broken. I really am not concerned if she broke it or not. She has been a great tenant and I think that it is best to just replace the window no questions asked. 

The window size is 33in x 32in. The cost for just the window is $200 plus installation. I was curious if it makes sense to, while it needs to be replaced anyway, change the window opening so it is a more "standard" window size. 

pros: cheaper to replace in future, cheaper window, more money going to my handyman rather than towards the price of the window

cons: unnecessary extra work 

I know this may be a silly question but I am curious of other thoughts

Thanks!
