Transform Your Home: The Top 5 Benefits of Upgrading to New Doors and Windows

Are the doors and windows in your home aging? Does your historic home still have the original doors and windows? Are they drafty or unsightly, or do they not operate properly? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it’s time to consider contacting WoodMart Building Center for help with upgrading your home’s doors and windows. An upgrade may have even more benefits than you think! Replacement windows and doors can provide these five solutions to improve your home.

 

1. Energy Efficiency

Ineffective seals, gaps around windows and doors, and single-pane glass are prime sources of energy loss in the home. Today’s modern windows and doors are more energy-efficient than ever before. They include many features to help prevent energy loss like double- and triple-pane glass, specially-designed seals and weather-stripping, and low-E coatings to improve insulation. WoodMart’s experts will help you find energy-efficient doors and windows from our featured brands, Tempco and Andersen, based on your aesthetic preferences and budget.

 

2. Return On Investment 

The age of the home’s doors and windows is one of the first things homebuyers consider. Whether you’re thinking of selling your home this year or in a few years, upgrading windows and doors is a wise investment and one of the best ways to increase your home’s perceived value. Potential buyers factor in major things like the need for replacement windows and doors when they make an offer. If they are already upgraded you will see more buyer interest in your home, and quicker and higher offers.

 

3. Beauty  

New doors and windows can significantly enhance the overall appearance of your home. At WoodMart Building Center, our experts will help you explore our wide selection of designs and find standard or custom doors and windows tailored to fit your needs. Whether you’re looking to increase natural light, add functionality, or elevate your home’s curb appeal, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. With the perfect doors and windows, you’ll fall in love with your home all over again.

 

4. Reduced Upkeep and Repair 

Maintaining doors and windows can be a headache. Older doors and windows may require frequent inspection, repair, correction of cracks and gaps, and replacement of seals. Cleaning them can be difficult or pose a safety risk. New, professionally installed doors and windows will have an airtight fit due to the new gaskets and weather stripping, minimizing the need for frequent replacements or caulking. Many of today’s door and window styles also feature designs that make cleaning and maintenance easy, including accessible parts that simplify upkeep.

5. Security 

Knowing your home and loved ones are protected can provide important peace of mind. Modern doors and windows feature innovative security and privacy measures, including smart locks, integrated window coverings, window opening control devices, safety glass, and more. When you choose doors and windows with these features, you will enjoy convenience, privacy, safety, and comfort.
