Pro: New Windows Improve Curb Appeal

When you have brand new windows installed, you can expect the curb appeal of your home to be improved. This is important for a few reasons, including the fact that if someone drives by a home for sale and doesn’t like what they see, then they are going to be less likely to even bother looking into the home more directly.

Con: It Costs Money

Of course, the main disadvantage is that it costs money to invest in new windows. You will need to determine how much the windows are likely to increase the value of your home as well as how much they might increase the interest. For example, if a family wants a move-in ready home, they might not consider a home that has windows older than a decade.

Pro: Window Preferences Are Fairly Standard

There are other home improvement projects people suggest that end up not being worth their money because potential buyers do not like the choices they make. For example, if someone spends the money to remodel an entire kitchen, only to have a buyer dislike it and remodel it themselves, they have wasted money. When you invest in windows, it is unlikely that you will choose a standard style that will put someone else off.

Con: The Hassle of Having Windows Installed

The bad news is that it does take time to have windows installed and it will temporarily impact your day-to-day life. The good news is that this time is minimal. If you are in the middle of trying to find a new home to buy and trying to pack your home, then having us at your home for a day or two could be too much. We do suggest that you call us for a quote to see how quickly we can get the windows done.

Pro: Improved Energy Efficiency

Not only will potential buyers appreciate the look of the new windows, but they will appreciate that newer windows can greatly improve a home’s energy efficiency. This can be a huge benefit to a potential buyer.
