Changing your old windows for modern home windows has many pros and not many cons. Looking at your home, you can realize windows are a significant part of its curb appeal. You can transform the small bathroom into a bigger one or add another room to boost the value if you want to sell it for more cash.
However, installing new window replacements can bring more appeal to your home and value. We can go into all the different window designs and explain how each can transform your home or watch some before and after images for a better understanding.
I won’t lie; modern windows for a home can be a significant investment but will always pay back monetarily or by looking at it aesthetically.
Modern Home Replacement Windows Improve Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is just a fancy way of saying the attractiveness of the home looks and it’s surrounding a better sale. So, any home improvement that adds curb appeal is suitable for a property. Most homeowners will consider painting the house or replacing the front door to increase their home’s curb appeal.
Those ideas are ok, but if you want to transform your home front facade, consider replacing your house windows. You must remember that most homes have multiple windows as their front facade so this project can change the look for good.
Replacement Windows Lower Energy Bills
Usually, when salespeople try to sell something, they’ll tell you half the truth. I realize you will find out in time, so the truth is that energy-efficient windows help lower your utility bill. However, it’s the wrong idea if you expect to return all of your investment from energy saving.
Installing replacement windows near Clearwater will reduce energy waste, but you won’t get back all your investment. Many experts will try to sell the energy-conscious homeowner this idea, but no. So instead, think about the window’s energy efficiency as one of the many benefits instead of the sales pitch.
High-end Impact Windows can Prevent Hurricane Damage
Hurricane or impact-resistant windows can save you more than energy, your life, or your family’s life. Yes, hurricane-impact windows can prevent hurricane damage. Most storms cause the most damage on roofs, but if they enter through your obsolete windows or even good but not impact windows, the result will be the same: destruction.
The windows will break, and rain and wind will enter your home, which might create strong upward pressure on the roof, blowing it off and causing massive structural damage. Usually, I recommend homeowners who live in hurricane regions to buy PGT’s Win Guard impact-resistant window instead of good regular windows. You might as well pay a little extra for better safety.
Modern Replacement Windows Bring Warranty
As usual, you expect good things to last, and modern replacement windows bring a manufacturer and labor installation warranty. Often, you need a little incentive, and a warranty can help reduce stress. Most window manufacturers like Andersen provide a 10-year limited warranty.
Now, a genuine lifetime warranty covers all window parts. If the failure occurs in the first year or ten years, the warranty still covers 100% of the cost to the original homeowner.
