Choosing what parts of your home to renovate is a difficult decision. However, by prioritizing curb appeal and return on investment, many homeowners choose window replacement.
Most homes have windows that could use a replacement; builder-grade windows are often chosen based on cost instead of quality. Old, poorly-fitted or low-quality windows can be drafty, and hard to open, costing you both higher energy bills and curb appeal.
The commitment to replace your windows can feel like a big jump, so we’ve listed our top five reasons we recommend window installation projects to homeowners.

First of all, replacement windows bring the beauty of natural light into your home. Replacing your windows can make a big impact in the appearance of both the exterior and the interior of your home. New window framing that fits perfectly won’t appear warped, cracked or discolored, and the glass will be shiny and clear.
