5 reasons why you should replace your windows

 

You may be thinking about replacing your windows.  A good quality replacement window can offer you great value and upgrade your home.  If you are like most people you don't know much about replacement windows. Here are some of the benefits of new windows.

 

Resale Value is a huge motivator to replace your windows. The average cost for a high quality replacement window is usually between $7,000-$12,000.  These numbers are for homes with ten 3x5 replacement windows. Just by replacing your windows, a homeowner can gain up to 80 percent of this investment back in resale value and offer the buyer a transferable warranty!

 

Energy Savings may be the top reason to replace your windows. If you have been experiencing high energy costs, replacing your windows can cut those costs up to 25 percent a year! Make sure your windows are energy star rated, and check the U-factor and SHGC ratings. For example, triple pane windows have become more popular due to the energy savings and the reduction of outside noise.

 

Easy to Clean replacement windows make it easy for you to keep your windows looking new and great!  When was the last time you cleaned your windows? Exactly! The top and bottom sash of a double hung window will fold down for easy cleaning.  This feature offers you a safer and less expensive way to clean your windows.

 

Increased Security is nothing to ignore. Low quality windows often do not offer strong locking systems. New replacement windows will increase your safety and security with the locking system. Many new windows also offer day and night child safety locks that allow a window to only be open a few inches when the window is not locked.

Increased Beauty of your home is another great reason to replace your windows. Who wouldn't want the home they worked hard for to be aesthetically pleasing?  New windows could offer your home the style it is missing! High quality windows offer many color options and custom grid patterns. These grids are most commonly found on the front of the house to enhance the homes curb appeal.
