Renovations

A lot of the time people lump window replacement into broader renovations and to be honest, this is usually a good idea.

And from a practicality standpoint, you’ll already be thinking about things like airflow, natural lighting and the like, so during a major renovation project is as good a time as any to jump in and do it. 

Resale value

One of the most attractive components of a home are its windows. People choose what homes to buy largely on curb appeal and nice, new windows won’t just help your house really pop to prospective buyers, but they’ll also help add significant value to your home. In most cases ,homeowners can recoup up to 70% of their investment alone when they sell their homes. In the meantime, you’ll get to reap all the reward of living in a more energy efficient home while you still own it.
