Of course as THE replacement window company for the Minneapolis area, you’ll find we are highly in favor of homeowners having new windows installed. The reasons are many, and so are the benefits. But why should you plan on doing this type of home improvement soon? In this particular article we’re going to focus on the financial benefits, particularly return on investment (ROI).
The main reason to replace your windows is to save on your heating and cooling expenses. Today’s energy-efficient replacement windows can actually pay for themselves over time in lower utility bills. But there are some other very good financial benefits.
In today’s volatile real estate market, choosing home remodeling projects that offer a terrific return on investment is extremely important. And real estate professionals say your home improvement dollars should first go to exterior projects. That includes things such as siding, roofing, exterior doors, and windows.
What is ROI? In the simplest terms, it’s the amount of money you could expect to recover on your expenditure when it comes time to sell your house. For example, if you replace your current entry door with one made of steel (such as those we install from ProVia), you could recover MORE than you spend, approximately 103%! Vinyl energy-efficient windows come close to that, approaching 90%. And when you add in savings on utilities, this is another project where you can recover more than you invest when you have your existing windows replaced.
We install wood, wood-clad, fiberglass, and vinyl energy-efficient replacement windows from several companies. Of these various types of window frames, vinyl windows offer the best ROI. We highly recommend ProVia vinyl replacement windows, as year after year this company wins EnergyStar awards, your assurance that the windows you invest in will perform at or above EPA standards for excellence in energy efficiency. (Shown here at right is a set of vinyl windows from ProVia’s Endure™ line.)
