How long will you be living in your current residence? Do you plan to sell the home in the next 5 years? 10 years? Knowing your long-term plan will help you decide the appropriate course of action when it comes to replacing your windows. If your long-term plan is to sell the home then you will want to make sure that the windows have a visually appealing aesthetic. Having new windows installed to your home will also increase the property value. If your long-term plan is to stay at the home and you prefer a unique appearance then you could go with wood windows, which allow for much customization. Having the windows replaced on your home can create a powerful visual impact, so keep that in mind when deciding how to proceed.
4: Warranty Research
