Replacement Windows Increase your Home's Resale Value

Why should you replace the windows in your house? A better question is why wouldn't you replace the windows? There are lots of reasons on both sides, however, there are definitely more reasons supporting replacement windows.

Admittedly, doing replacement windows is a big investment that can be upwards of $5000 in some cases. You have to look forward to what the benefits will be once the job is done. Ask yourself these questions:

· Will my house look better?

· Do I have drafts coming in now?

· Is my house cold in the winter?

· Is my house hot in the summer?

· What are my gas or oil bills like now and will new windows affect that?

· How much will new windows affect my utilities?

First, your home WILL look a lot better with replacement windows installed. When the windows are installed, the installer will "cap" them. This means that he will seal the entire work area with vinyl and caulking. I just had my house done last week and I can tell you it is SHARP!

If you have drafts coming through the house, they are probably coming from the windows. Either through spaces that develop between the old wooden frames or between the frame and the house structure itself.

Installing the new replacement windows stops this right now! No more drafts across your feet-ever.

Remember that windows work two ways. They keep the outside out and the inside in. Trouble is that with old single pane windows, there is a trade off. Older windows allow outside heat or cold to enter straight through the glass. They also allow your heat or air conditioning to escape the same way.

New replacement windows can stop that trade off. The windows we bought actually keep 97% of the house climate in and 98% of the outside climate out. Our old windows were about 60/40 as measured by a refraction meter. What's the result? Money saved on heating and air conditioning.

It is estimated that over the next 5 years, we will have saved a real 60% on our heating/cooling bills.

As for the resale value, it is increased dramatically. A home that has a market value of $275,000 before replacement windows will increase in value to about $285,000 instantly. Give it another few years and the market value jumps to around $295,000 with just the windows replaced!

When marketing your home, be sure to use the replacement windows as a selling point. Show the prospective buyers the old utility bills and the new ones to drive the point home.

The outward appearance is also greatly increased. I could not believe the difference in my house's appearance. It was astounding to say the least.

So when you are considering replacement windows, don't let the initial cost deter you completely. Get a couple of estimates, maybe three and pick the best one. Quality will cost a bit more, but it's worth the cost, trust me.

Replacement windows are a must for the serious homeowner. It looks good, saves money and helps the property appreciate in value.
