The 8 benefits of replacement windows
Get the biggest bang for your home improvement buck.
You’ll have a hard time finding a project that brings as many benefits – and stretches your investment dollar farther – than replacement windows. Here are some of the benefits you’ll start enjoying from day one:
- Increased home value. Replacement windows can return homeowners 71 to 78 percent of the project cost upon resale
- Enhanced safety and security. Windows that don't open easily or are painted shut can be a safety issue. They may prevent you from escaping your home during a fire - when seconds count.
- Reduced dust and allergens. Your window blinds and curtains could be full of dust and airborne allergens. Blinds tucked between the glass stay protected from dust, helping to reduce allergens in your home.
- Improved comfort. Energy-efficient, well-sealed windows can help reduce cold drafts and hot spots in your home.
- Improved energy-efficiency. Drafty, leaky windows make your furnace and air conditioner work harder - and increase heating and cooling costs. Replacement windows can help you save money by improving your home's energy efficiency.
- More peace and quiet. Insulating frames and triple-pane glass help today's windows reduce the noise from traffic, lawn mowers and barking dogs.
- An enhanced view. New replacement windows can dramatically improve the beauty of your home - inside and out.
- Less time spent cleaning. Today's windows are designed with convenient features like sashes that tilt in - making it easier to clean places that used to be hard to reach.
Depending on the style they range from $200.00 to well over $2000.00. Thanks for using
