There are myriad benefits to replacing your property’s windows & doors. In addition to cutting your energy bills & reducing your impact on the environment, you will also increase what realtors refer to as curb appeal which can sway prospective buyers, should you decide to sell.
This added resale value is not just the result of a superficial reaction – ethically conscious buyers who practice green consumerism will be influenced by the implied energy efficiency of new windows. The quality of your windows & doors contributes directly to your home’s energy rating, so the effect of replacing them is much more than cosmetic.
In addition to the visually obvious cues to replace windows – rotting wooden frames; broken/frogged glass – non visual benefits should also factor into your decision making process. Replacing your windows & front door can yield a variety of benefits, from lowered utility bills to better soundproofing.
Replacing every window in your home can be an expensive proposition. However, if your window frames are in good shape, simply replacing single pane window sashes with double pane sashes can save you money.
For budget-minded homeowners seeking a quick home makeover, few improvements are as inexpensive or dramatic as a change to their front door. Compared to the price of other home renovation options, updating your windows & doors is an affordable way to transform both the exterior and interior of your home in one fell swoop.
