Windows add curb appeal and value to your home, but they don’t last forever. After a few decades, they start wearing down. There are also a few other reasons you may want to replace them. Our experts plan out projects of every scope, from kitchen and bathroom remodeling to home additions. Here are four reasons new windows may be necessary:

4 Indicators New Windows Are Necessary
1. They’re Damaged
There are a few signs of severely damaged windows that are beyond repair. If yours are warped or look old, won’t open and close easily, and let in drafts and even rain, don’t try to fix them. The wear and tear will only get worse over time. Instead, save yourself money and trouble by fixing them.

2. They’re Not Energy Efficient
Have you noticed your utility bills going up lately? According to Energy.gov, drafty windows have a major effect on your bills, costing you up to 25% more each month. Since quality ones keep in both heat and cold air, a replacement will reduce your carbon footprint, lower your monthly bills, and prevent your HVAC system from working too hard.

3. You Want to Enhance Your Curb Appeal
Windows make a notable impact on curb appeal, so if they’re aging, broken, or simply out of style, your home’s attractiveness will take a hit. Stand at the curb and look at the front of your residence. If you notice fading colors or weathered screens, it’s time for an update.

4. You Own a Historic Home
If you live in a historic home, add to its charm with replacement windows that replicate the time period. Contemporary models don’t match well with antique residences; rather, they detract from the overall appearance. Historically accurate windows, on the other hand, will improve your home’s allure.
