Why Replace Your Windows?

Replacing windows might not be at the top of your to-do list, but it can actually be a great opportunity to transform your home. New windows can add more light and fresh air, help you save money on your energy bills and give your home a whole new look.

  • Lower energy costs. Because older windows are made from fragile, single-pane glass that may have cracks and rotting, deteriorating frames, window replacement can help you save up to 30 percent on your home's heating and cooling costs by letting less of it escape out the windows. With low-e coatings and argon gas fillings, modern windows are far more efficient than your home's old and tired windows.

  • Improve your home's curb appeal. As one of the easiest and cheapest ways to enhance the appeal of an aging home, window replacement is a great way to spruce up your home without breaking the bank. And because curb appeal is such a big component of the value of your home, any money you spend on windows will be an investment that you can cash out when it comes time to sell.

  • Cut out the noise. Modern windows are double-paned or have laminated glass that helps reduce the annoyances that can interrupt you when you're working or just enjoying an evening indoors. If you live by a busy street or in an urban area, window replacement is a great way to get some peace of mind if outside noises are driving you up the wall.

  • Protect your furniture and floors. Window replacement also helps you protect your home's furnishings and floors by rejecting harmful ultraviolet light before it has a chance to get inside. Over the course of years, old windows can fade and stain furniture, artwork, carpet, and finishes to an ugly hue reminiscent of your once-bold furnishings. Don't give it a chance with new, modern windows that keep the sun's harmful rays out.

  • Safeguard your family and your belongings. Old windows may be cracked or stuck ajar with locking mechanisms that hard work after years of use. But if your windows can't be properly closed or operated because of their problematic frames and locks, you could be exposing your family to a security issue. New windows will operate and function with ease, bringing enhanced security and well-being to your home and everything in it.

  • Less maintenance and cleaning. As modern windows are stronger and more rigid, and they're not made out of untreated wood that needs constant repainting, maintenance, and cleaning, the burden of your troublesome windows quickly becomes a thing of the past with window replacement. And when you spend less time cleaning and maintaining your home's windows, you'll have more time to spend with the family -- and that's something we can all appreciate.
