Increasing Your Homes Curb Appeal With New
Windows

• First Impression
• A homes curb appeal can make or break a sale.
  Imagine the reaction of a hopeful buyer arriving
  at a property for sale and seeing an unkempt
  lawn, missing roof shingles, or damaged paint.
  The state of the windows is just as important as
  the other features of the exterior. A cracked,
  damaged or foggy window is extremely detrimental.
  A fixer-upper is one thing a house needing a
  major overhaul is another. Even the most
  optimistic buyer would undoubtedly feel
  disappointed upon seeing a house with a poorly
  maintained exterior. It usually indicates a
  neglected interior and a house that simply has
  not been well taken care of. The way a house
  looks from the outside will either draw a buyer
  in or scare them away.
• In addition to taking away from a houses
  aesthetic, appearance, and overall appeal, old
  and/or damaged windows almost always indicate a
  house that is not energy efficient. Bad windows
  almost always mean a poorly insulated home, which
  make the house difficult and expensive to heat in
  the winter and equally problematic to keep cool
  in the summer
• The Importance of Light
• Even while viewing a house from the outside, its
  fairly easy to judge by looking at the windows
  whether the house gets enough natural lighting.
  Adequate natural lighting is a major
  consideration, as selling a house with windowless
  rooms or poorly lit rooms can be quite
  challenging. This is especially true among older
  homes newer homes are usually constructed using
  techniques that allow for optimal natural
  lighting, including bay windows, picture windows,
  and skylights. While light fixtures can always be
  installed to improve poor lighting, a sunlit room
  is much more desirable. Adding windows where they
  do not exist is an investment that new buyers can
  always consider, but it means budgeting the time
  and money to do so.

Window Replacement Energy Efficiency

• Older Homes
• While new construction has its perks and
  benefits, nothing compares to the timeless beauty
  of classic, older, historic homes. Of course,
  owning an older house presents a certain set of
  challenges, which often includes energy
  efficiency. Generally speaking, older houses
  benefit from energy evaluations and the
  subsequent necessary updates. Commonly, this
  means updating the insulation and windows, thus
  eliminating drafts and securely sealing the house
  from the elements. Additionally, new windows can
  prevent excess moisture from entering a house,
  which can lead to the buildup of mold and mildew.
  Window replacement is an easy way to breathe new
  life into an older home, increasing the physical
  comfort it offers as well as boosting its overall
  aesthetic appearance.
• The Cost
• As with all home improvement, the cost of window
  replacement is important to consider. In
  particular, this can be the case with older
  homes, which sometimes require custom-ordered
  panes not readily available in stores. However,
  in the vast majority of cases, new windows pay
  for themselves in a short amount of time. That is
  the money saved in energy costs greatly outweighs
  the price of replacing the windows. Properly
  insulated, secure, reinforced windows result in
  much more manageable utility bills. The most
  dramatic results are observed when single-pane
  windows are replaced with double panes. In some
  cases, tax credits are available for
  energy-boosting home improvements, making the
  project even more worthwhile.

Transforming A Home With Window Replacement

• Darkness and Light
• When it comes to home renovations, a popular goal
  is to make the house brighter. It is believed
  that natural lighting boosts levels of serotonin
  released by the brain in other words,
  scientifically speaking, being in a bright room
  can put someone in a good mood. So, making a
  house brighter is the aim. This can mean anything
  from choosing a vibrant shade of paint for the
  kitchen to installing recessed lighting or, more
  importantly, new window installation and/or
  replacement. Remodeling or renovating a home
  presents an exciting opportunity to completely
  change the space whether its a DIY undertaking
  or a project undertaken with an interior designer
  and architect.
• Other Benefits
• An important factor to consider when replacing
  windows during home renovations is the overall
  impact on energy efficiency. A common goal when
  renovating a home is to make it operate more
  efficiently, especially in terms of heating and
  cooling. New, properly insulated windows are a
  vital aspect of creating an energy efficient
  home. It can help to keep the heat in when the
  temperature outside plummets and keeping the cool
  air in during the summer months. Replacing a
  homes insulation, windows and doors are among
  the most effective methods during a renovation to
  improve energy efficiency.

Expert Window Installation

• Cost Savings
• Professional window installation does not have to
  be expensive rather, the majority of contractors
  are experts at cutting costs and can work with
  limited customer budgets. It is a myth that it
  costs an arm and a leg to hire a contractor to do
  window installation in fact, overall, it
  typically saves both time and money. From
  choosing the most energy efficient and secure
  options to correctly installing the windows right
  the first time, hiring a contractor has a wide
  array of benefits. Most contractors provide
  estimates free of charge and will carefully
  outline and review the costs of window
  installation with each customer. Additionally,
  expert window installers can assist with
  everything from boosting a homes security to
  performing an energy evaluation. Properly
  installed, reinforced windows can offer a great
  reduction in utility bills, added security and
  aesthetic benefits.
• An Informed Decision
• As with any home renovation, it is important for
  a homeowner to conduct the requisite research
  when hiring a contractor, finding a licensed,
  insured professional with a solid reputation.
  Its recommended to check out a contractors
  listing with the Better Business Bureau, as well
  as reading customer reviews and testimonials on
  that contractors business website or Facebook
  page. A reputable contractor will guarantee and
  stand behind the workmanship of the renovations
  performed offering certain assurances that are
  forfeited when a DIY project is undertaken.

Window Installation Home Security

• New window installation can offer the same peace
  of mind as investing in a home security system or
  updating the outdoor lighting its practical,
  reasonable and necessary. Its a smart investment
  that can transform a previously vulnerable house
  into a safe one. Intruders frequently target
  homes with windows that do not lock properly.
  This is a common problem among houses with older
  windows in need of replacement, easily shattered
  or knocked out of place by a clever burglar.
• Installing windows with security features, such
  as metal guards, grids or bars, is an easy way to
  instantly increase the safety of a home. Window
  bars can be as decorative as they are functional
  increasing the beauty of a home rather than
  taking away from it. Ornate, custom window
  designs enhance a homes curb appeal while
  keeping the property safe and secure. These
  security measures are unobtrusive intelligently
  designed to be aesthetically pleasing while
  expertly manufactured to be strong. Installing
  safe windows does not mean sacrificing style
  rather, new windows can be quite complementary to
  a homes visual appeal.
• Other tips include installing secondary window
  locks and choosing reinforced, shatter-proof
  glass, especially in commonly neglected spaces,
  such as the basement or the garage. Such updates
  include other incidental bonuses, such as
  increased energy efficiency and a reduction in
  home heating bills. These small steps can prevent
  would-be criminals from attempting to invade and
  burglarize a home. Ideally, new window
  installation should be accompanied by proper
  outside lighting and, when appropriate, a home
  security system. However, from a basic
  perspective, window installation is a low-tech
  option that can mean the difference between
  owning a house thats targeted by a casual
  burglar versus a house thats deemed too
  difficult to attack.
