Replacing Windows Increase Home Value
A common question that homeowners visiting our central North Carolina window store ask is: Does replacing windows increase home value?
Replacing your home’s windows is a significant investment, but it can also pay off by increasing your home’s value. Read on to learn exactly which window upgrades can increase your home’s value.
According to the 2023 Cost vs. Value report from Remodeling magazine, replacing vinyl windows in central North Carolina adds an average of $13,776 to a home’s value, or about 69% of the cost of the project. Replacing wood windows adds an average of $14,912 to a home’s value, or about 61% of the cost of the project. These figures are based on projects where 10 windows were replaced, none of which were specialty sizes or shapes.
However, it’s important to note that the actual increase in home value from new windows will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
The Quality of Windows You Choose
Higher-quality windows will typically add more value to your home than lower-quality windows.
So, while replacing vinyl windows with new vinyl windows may cost less, you will see more value added to your home if you replace them with aluminum or fiberlgass windows. It’s also true that you’ll experience some cost savings as a result of the improved energy efficiency.
This is especially true if the window offers transferable warranties that the new homeowner can use should they encounter any issues with the window in the future.
The Condition of Your Existing Windows
If your existing windows are old and in poor condition, replacing them with new windows will likely add more value to your home than if your existing windows are in good condition.
The Overall Condition of Your Home
If your home is in good condition and in a desirable location, new windows will likely add more value than if your home is in poor condition or in a less desirable location.
