Why Now Is The Time to Remodel

 

Have you found yourself looking at your home and thinking, “Should I replace my windows?” If not, you should. According to the National Association of Realtors, replacement windows are one of the latest trends in home improvement. Windows can help your home become more energy-efficient, attractive, and comfortable. Plus, new windows are one of the best and simplest ways to update your home!

Still not convinced? Here are some reasons to consider upgrading your windows:

  • Improved aesthetics. One of the first things people notice about your home is the windows. Older, outdated, or unattractive windows are not as aesthetically pleasing to guests or potentially homebuyers (if your house is on the market). Replacing your windows can significantly enhance the curb appeal.

  • Lower maintenance. Replacement windows require fewer care requirements than older windows. Plus, new windows are easier to clean - the tilt-in feature allows you to clean your windows from the comfort of inside your home. 

  • Reduced cost and increased comfort. If your home feels hot during our Florida summers, your windows probably don’t have the best insulation. As a result, your air conditioner is working overtime to keep your home cool and comfortable - which leads to higher utility bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, installing replacement windows can reduce your energy costs by up to $50 annually. Plus, you’ll help reduce your home’s carbon footprint because modern windows provide better insulation. 

  • Reduced water issues. Older windows are more leak-prone due to rain and other weather conditions. This excess water can lead to mold, mildew, and even structural damage, mildew. Replacement windows provide stronger resistance to water and leaks, helping to maintain the structural integrity of your home. 

  • Noise reduction. Replacement windows provide excellent soundproofing as they are made with premium vinyl from the industry’s most reputable manufacturers. Because they block street noise (or your neighbor’s garage band practice), you and your family will have privacy and calmness year-round. 

  • Added security. Newer windows protect your home from more than the elements - they also provide an added layer of security for your family and possessions. New windows come equipped with double locks and interlocks double strength glass for high impact resistance, making it very unlikely for burglars to break and enter.

  • Increased value to your home. Whether you plan on selling your home or want to upgrade your home for your comfort and enjoyment, installing new windows increases your home’s value. According to the 2020 Cost vs Value Report by Remodeling Magazine, you can receive up to a 73% return on investment by replacing ten or more windows in your home.

Choosing an entry door that fits your personal style is as important as having one that can withstand the elements in your area.  The two most important features of your entry door are function and aesthetics.
