Even if you're happy with the look of your current windows, there are many reasons you would be better off having them completely replaced.

Why It Pays to Upgrade Your Windows

windowsIt's Time for a New Look

In some houses, especially older homes with windows that have been in place for 15 to 30 years, many aspects have simply gone out of style. In addition to being unattractive and outdated, there may be faded, chipped, and worn features in desperate need of repair. Are window repairs like these really worth it in the long run, though? In most cases, it's best to invest in something new.  

Window Style Options Are Vast

If you've been locked into the same style of windows for the past decade or more, you'll be amazed at the variety available today. From the ever-popular PVC or vinyl window options to highly durable fiberglass, hopper, and awning-style hinges, and more, you'll be able to find something both functional and complementary to the rest of your home. 

New Windows Are More Efficient

The real benefit of going all-in on replacement windows is efficiency. Many new windows are even Energy Star-rated for meeting the minimum energy efficiency criteria. While these tend to cost more than traditional windows, features such as improved insulation, gas-filled glass with higher thermal resistance, and heat transfer reduction will end up saving you money on monthly energy bills. 

Repairs for older windows may provide a nice temporary band-aid, but full window replacements will provide a long-term solution.
