Replacement windows payback, whether you are considering wood, vinyl or fiberglass windows, is one of the highest returns of all home improvements. That’s especially good news if your present windows are starting to get weathered and need replacement or upgrade.
Good News For Homeowners
There are multiple pieces of good news for those looking for replacement windows at this time. Here are a couple of highlights –
First, replacement windows allow homeowners to recoup, upon resale, one of the highest percentages of payback. According to the 2021 Cost vs. Value Report (published annually by Remodeling Magazine), vinyl replacement windows would return 63% of the cost of replacement immediately in Madison or 69.5% regionally. This amount can appreciate over the years based on housing values and especially in the Madison area. Also, the sooner you replace your windows the lower the cost of replacement.
Second, technology has improved the performance of windows in terms of insulating values. Today’s double pane gas-filled replacement windows moderate the temperature on either side of the window better than ever. They keep the cold or heat out depending on the season better than ever. This lowers energy costs and makes your home cozier than ever.
Third, glass coatings protect from damaging UV rays keeping carpets, furniture and draperies from fading and aging.
Fourth, vinyl replacement windows now offer optional wood-like veneer, so they look richer and more realistic than ever before without the worry of rot.
