You would have to be living under a rock to not realize that many San Diego households are stretched thin these days. Money is tight, largely due to inflation, and many homeowners have to choose how to spend their home improvement dollars very carefully.
While it makes good sense to be continually maintaining and updating your San Diego home, some home improvement projects are more valuable than others, and should therefore be prioritized. One such improvement is installing replacement windows.
As the name implies, replacement windows are new windows that take the place of a home’s existing windows. They are installed in the same spaces as the old windows, so no expensive construction or repairs to the surrounding walls need to be done either prior to or following their installation. Replacement windows can often be installed in a San Diego home in just a day or two, unlike other home improvement projects that can drag on for weeks, or even months.
Here are 3 other great reasons to install replacement windows in your San Diego home:
Replacement Windows Keep Out Noise, Heat, and Cold
The main reason most homeowners install replacement windows in their San Diego homes is to keep out unwanted noise, heat, and cold. Many of the replacement window products on the market have amazing insulating properties. They can help keep a home quieter by blocking outside noise from coming into the home. This can be a game-changer for homes on busy streets, near the airport or military base, or for those that have especially noisy neighbors.
Replacement windows can also help regulate the temperature inside the home. New windows often include sophisticated features that insulate the home from both heat and cold, as well as block UV rays. San Diego homeowners who install replacement windows typically find that they have to use their heating and air conditioning units far less often in order to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature.
Replacement Windows Have a Great ROI
Because replacement windows help reduce the need to use energy to heat or cool the house, homeowners find that their monthly energy bills are reduced—sometimes quite dramatically! In other words, installing new windows is one of the few home improvements that can help San Diego homeowners actually save money every month. Even though the initial investment can be substantial, homeowners can reap the monthly financial benefits for as long as they own their home!
Studies also show that replacement windows also have a great return on investment (ROI) when San Diego homeowners go to sell their homes. Sellers can expect to recoup about 80% of the cost of the windows in the home’s sale.
Replacement Windows Improve Curb Appeal
This final benefit is a bit more of an intangible one, but still valuable to most homeowners. High-quality replacement windows can improve the curb appeal of just about any San Diego home.
When the right style of windows is selected to complement the home, it can really make a home stand out in its neighborhood. Features like thicker frames, decorative grids, or designer frame colors can give a cookie-cutter home some much-needed architectural interest.
