Replacement Window Cost vs. Value
The cost of a replacement window project is based on things like materials, the number and size of windows, and details about your property. However, it’s typically worth it to invest in quality over cheap replacement windows: A 2022 survey from Remodeling Magazine found that good replacement windows have a 67.5% return on investment in the south Atlantic region. Whether you want to put your home on the market or you plan to stay where you are, find MI windows for sale here.

Benefits of Home Window Replacement
Upgrading your home with replacement windows not only enhances its appearance but also brings numerous benefits, making it a wise investment for any homeowner.
Image
PEACE OF MIND FOR YOUR FAMILY
Replacement windows can help improve your home's safety and privacy. Advanced locking mechanisms, robust frame materials like aluminum replacement windows, and impact-resistant glass make break-ins less likely. Casem*nt windows and sliding horizontal windows are a great choice for meeting egress requirements for bedrooms and basem*nts in case of emergency. Local building codes typically specify the height and size of the window’s opening, so talk to your contractor about your area’s requirements.
Image
Egress Requirements
Finding the right replacement windows can be a challenge when meeting egress specifications. Horizontal sliding windows are an excellent choice for achieving ventilation while providing egress in window wells.
Image
Space Saving
Want ventilation, but don’t want to block pathways when you open your window? Consider horizontal sliders, double hung and single hung house windows, which slide open, rather than opening outward.
Image
Glass Options
Tempered glass is extremely strong, with a reduced chance of injury if it breaks. Double- and triple-paned glass, which is used in impact windows, can also provide an extra layer of security.
Image
KEEP WEATHER OUT, LET AIR IN
Replacing those old, drafty windows with good replacement windows allows you to control indoor air quality and comfort. In the winter, modern windows tightly seal your home against cold drafts, preserving warmth and reducing heating costs. You can help cut the cold even more by adding non-operating windows like radius windows and picture windows. During summer, features like adjustable openings and screens let in fresh air and cool breezes, enhancing comfort without opening your home to pests or compromising security.
Image
CUT THE GLARE AND SAVE ENERGY
Keeping the weather outside where it belongs can also help you save on energy bills. Replacement windows with extra high-efficiency forms of Low-E insulated glass cut the glare of too much sunlight, particularly in rooms used for working on a computer or watching TV, while still letting in natural light.
Add curtains and shades to easily control the amount of light even more. Properly installed replacement windows with insulated glass keep your home comfortable and can lower your energy bills.
Image
Better Airflow
Funnel breezes through your home by strategically placing windows in areas where the winds blow. By maximizing ventilation with casem*nt windows or double-hung windows, you can invite more fresh air into your home.
Image
Light-Filled Spaces
Casem*nt windows and horizontal sliding window styles give you access to plenty of fresh air and natural light. Pair them with patio doors and ventilating skylights to enhance airflow.
Image
Energy Efficiency
Improve heating and cooling bills with energy-efficient replacement windows. Swapping out windows on the north, west and east walls, in particular, can help lower your home’s energy costs.
Things to Consider When Replacing House Windows
A window replacement project gives you the opportunity to swap out the operation style of your existing window to make it better function in the space, or even add a patio door. Here’s what to consider as you shop windows for sale.
Image
CHOOSING THE RIGHT WINDOW FOR EACH LOCATION
Replacement windows can completely transform your home. Want to make a room look larger or take advantage of a great view? Add a picture window to your living room with casem*nt or single-hung windows on either side to give your room both light-filled views and ventilation. Want to add a touch of sophistication? Positioning an arched window over a double-hung window adds style, even in a bathroom or mudroom.
You can also make the switch to casem*nt or awning windows, which you can easily open with one hand using a crank. These are great choices for tight spaces or windows that are higher up on walls and difficult to reach. Maintenance is another thing to consider: On upper floors, double hung windows that tilt in can make cleaning easier.
Image
BALANCING PRIVACY AND LETTING IN LIGHT
Not every room in your home needs a big, open picture window or horizontal slider. For windows in entryways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and other private areas, consider choosing obscure glass. They come in a variety of textured patterns and tints with translucent and semi-opaque effects, providing privacy without adding window coverings. Skylights and transom windows are also great ideas for adding light without compromising privacy.
Image
Choosing the Best Windows for Your Home’s Style
Whether you live in a colonial, modern, or ranch-style home, updating your windows is one of the easiest ways to boost curb appeal and help increase the value of your home. You can maintain your home’s previous style by choosing from various window grids and trim colors when you select your replacement windows.
It’s especially important for the windows on the front of your home to complement your architectural style. Many home styles call for symmetrical, traditional design, particularly in neighborhoods with HOA specifications and local building codes. Your dealer can work with you to design the home you both need and want.
Image
Simple Operation
Place awning windows in basem*nts, laundry rooms, and anywhere else you may need a smaller window you can open with one hand. Casem*nt windows are perfect for over the kitchen sink for the same reason.
Image
Thoughtful Placement
Consider the arrangement of your furniture and your home’s doors. A picture window over an entryway door welcomes visitors with abundant light, while a sliding window is easy to open over a side table or chair.
Image
Window Grids
While older windows were made from multiple panes of glass, modern replacement windows achieve the same look with grids. From standard to valance to perimeter, window grids can match your home’s architectural style.
Replacement Window Operating Styles
The style of your home and the design of each room plays a big role in the type of window you choose. Do you want plenty of natural light? Easy operation for a corner window or one high up on a wall? Tilt-in sashes for easy cleaning on a second or third floor? Here are your options when installing replacement windows.
Image
Sliding Replacement Windows
Sliding windows operate by one sash gliding horizontally over another, offering a sleek, contemporary look. They are ideal for spaces where exterior protrusion is a concern, providing ample light and ventilation without occupying additional space.
Image
Single Hung Replacement Windows
Single hung windows feature a stationary top sash and a movable bottom sash that slides vertically, offering a traditional appearance and efficient airflow. They are a cost-effective option for those looking to enhance their home's energy efficiency and comfort without compromising on style.
Image
Double Hung Replacement Windows
Double hung windows allow both the upper and lower sashes to move, providing superior ventilation and ease of cleaning. This flexibility makes them a popular choice for homeowners seeking both functionality and aesthetic appeal in a variety of home styles.
Image
Replacement Awning Windows
Awning windows, hinged at the top and opening outward, offer unique architectural interest and functionality. They provide excellent ventilation and protection from the rain, making them ideal for adding character and comfort to any room.
Image
Replacement Casem*nt Windows
Casem*nt windows feature a side hinge, opening outward like a door. This design allows for maximum ventilation and offers an unobstructed view, making them a preferred choice for homeowners looking for ease of use and energy efficiency.
Image
Replacement Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed units designed to offer expansive views and flood a room with natural light. Their large, unobstructed glass area makes them perfect for highlighting outdoor landscapes while enhancing the aesthetic value of your home.
Image
