Do New Windows Increase Home Value?

Are You Looking for New Ways to Increase the Value of Your South Florida Home?

If you are searching for ways to increase your home’s value, you should begin by looking at the condition of your flooring. Also, you should consider whether or not your home’s interior or exterior needs painted. Another way to increase the value of your South Florida home is by adding an addition to increase the home’s square footage.

While all of these home improvement types are great ideas, they can become costly and time-consuming. Especially when there are other, less expensive, and time intensive areas where your money can be better spent.

Consider the condition of your home’s current windows. When was the last time they were updated? What kind of condition are they in (considering the environment you live in)? Are your home’s windows outdated? Are the screens in good working condition?

This article touches on why new windows increase a home’s value. And will also explain how your money will be better spent by upgrading your current windows. New windows will enhance curb appeal, functionality and heighten the overall interior aesthetics of your home.

Do New Windows Really Increase a Home’s Value?

The short answer is yes! Unless you’ve recently moved into a newly built home, chances are that your windows are in dire need of an upgrade!

New windows will promote your home’s value in the following areas:

• Energy Efficiency

Did you know that new windows and doors in your house can increase your return investment by up to 70%? These windows are eligible for an energy tax credit. In addition, many seals, untreated windows, and screens withstand wear and tear throughout the years. Cold and hot air from inside the home readily escapes (and vice versa) causing energy bills to become more expensive and wasteful.

• Home Security

Installing impact-resistant windows aids in home security; keeping your loved ones and possessions safe from a break-in. Impact resistant windows also help areas prone to extreme weather conditions by shielding your home from flying debris.

• High-Quality Windows Provide UV Protection

UV protection will keep your family safe from harmful rays as well as keep fabric intact, and protect couches and chairs from wearing from the sunlight.

• Noise Reduction

Windows with built-in protection like impact windows have the ability to reduce outside noises. These windows cut out over 40% ambient and traffic noise.

 

How Much Value Do New Windows Add to a Home?

The actual cost of new windows depends on the installation completed. Installing impact-resistant windows will not only cut an energy bill in half, depending on the brand of windows installed, but it increases curb appeal! On average, windows from qualified window installers have the opportunity to create a return of investment of over 70% taking in the cost savings from energy and efficiency.
