Do you have something in your house that you just adore? Perhaps you have a big front porch with a swing that helps you relax after a long day. That could be your crowning jewel on the house. The part you appreciate and enjoy the most. When you get replacement windows in Los Gatos, CA, you might feel like that feature is the new crowning jewel in your house. It stands out and sparkles and makes you glad for having gone through the experience. Here are a few reasons why replacement windows could very well be that crowning jewel in your house.
They Look New And Fresh
It’s hard to make a house look nice if the windows are old and rundown. While your favorite spot (the front porch) might hide some of them, there are generally enough windows on a house that others will show. You can’t get a good curb appeal going with windows that are saggy and rotting. Once you put in new windows, though, they give your house a new, fresh look. The porch is nice, but the windows might be what really stand out. And you don’t just see the windows from outside, either. They show inside, too, and give you a fresh appearance on the interior just as nicely.
They Lower Energy Bills
Most crowning jewels cost quite a bit (new windows are no slouch in the cost area), but most jewels also don’t pay you back, right? Replacement windows will do just that. One of the first things they do, after looking fabulous on your house, is to lower your energy bills. They seal up the house so no air gets in or out. When you keep the air inside, the HVAC doesn’t have to work as hard to pump more air in, only to have it flow out the windows. Things stay inside and you use less energy. That makes your bills nice and low right away and keeps them there for years into the future. There aren’t many other projects that can lower your energy bills more than new windows. That makes it a crowning jewel project in efficiency, for sure.
They Raise Value
It makes sense for a crowning jewel to raise the value of the home overall. It is worth a lot and whatever it is placed upon, it raises the value of as well. Replacement windows do the same thing. They raise the value of a home so if you sell in the future, the home is worth more. You get that money back and maybe even more than what you spent since you have lower energy bills in the meantime.
