Exterior home improvements, such as siding and window replacement, can help boost your property’s curb appeal, value and energy efficiency. With new windows, your home’s exterior will look more inviting and you will enjoy brighter and fresher indoor spaces. To ensure your project’s success, you must plan it carefully.
Here are essential things to know before replacing your windows.
Establish Goals
The goals you wish to achieve in your project will help narrow down your window replacement options. For instance, if you want to improve your kitchen’s ventilation, consider operable styles like casements and double-hung windows. Do you want more natural light in your indoor spaces? If so, picture windows are a great option due to their expansive glass area.
Choose a Durable Frame Material
The window frame material you choose can affect your home’s appearance, energy efficiency and weather protection. You want to select a low-maintenance material that works for your climate. At Twin Cities Siding and Roofing, we install high-quality Marvin windows. These units are made with advanced, durable materials to withstand weather extremes. You can also count on us for your James Hardie® siding installation.
Consider Energy-Efficient Features
Modern multipane windows offer significantly better insulation than their single-pane counterparts. Many of these units also come with low-emissivity glass coatings that block UV rays, protecting your furnishings from fading.
Don’t Forget About Warranties
Warranties will protect your investment against installation mistakes and manufacturing defects. They also say a lot about the quality of replacement windows and a contractor’s reliability. Professionals who are confident in their skills and the products they use will not hesitate to offer comprehensive warranties.
Even the best windows can fail early when not handled and installed correctly. It’s among the many reasons to hire a reputable contractor for your project.
