Clean windows help buyers see the value

This may be new information to some and to others a reminder.
As it’s winter, it’s hard to keep anything clean for too long. At least in areas that get snow and ice. So cleaning the windows after you’re through with the rehab may seem a bit ludicrous. But trust me it’s a huge selling point. Most buyers won’t necessarily talk about it, point it out some may not even know what it is, but the house seems brighter, cleaner and more friendly when the windows are sparking clean. We want to sell that property fast. We’ve done all this work to bring this property back to life. Make sure that we get the windows cleaned, and let those buyers see all your property has to offer.

What to Know Before You Buy New Windows for Your Home

Like any investment in your house, there are some things a person should learn before they get ready to buy new windows for their home. For example, most homeowners would be well suited to find energy-efficient windows. This means that they still have to pay the upfront costs of window replacement, but they end up earning money back over the years as the energy efficient windows allow them to cut down on their monthly energy bills.

Understanding energy efficiency
When you’re ready to buy new windows for a home, it’s important to look at the U-factor. Manufacturers mark their replacement windows with this indicator, which measures a window’s ability to conduct heat. The lower the U-factor, the better a window is at keeping a space cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Another comparison is the ER – Energy Rating developed by Canada.

From there, you’ll want to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to actually complete the installation process. Even the most energy-efficient windows won’t work well in that home if they’re not installed properly. It’s common for major window manufacturers to train and certify installers on their own, meaning that these people know exactly how to put these windows into place properly.

A homeowner should also understand that if their contractor doesn’t install the windows according to the manufacturer’s instructions, it might end up voiding the warranty on that window. This is another reason why proper installation is so crucial. Prior to hiring someone to install the windows, make sure that this individual knows exactly how to do the work properly. Installation varies depending on the type of window, so the professional should have a solid understanding of what is required for this particular job.

Understanding the various options
When it comes time to buy new windows for a home, the homeowner should make it a point to learn about the various types of windows that are available to them. This includes:

Wood-frame and fiberglass-frame windows: These windows are consistently popular among homeowners. They hold up well in extreme temperatures, expanding and contracting without suffering a loss of performance. This option is great for those who reside in a climate that sees both hot and cold temperatures.
Vinyl-frame windows: These windows are popular due to few maintenance requirements. A homeowner only has to worry about cleaning the windows occasionally in order to keep them working well. You can also get frames that look like wood on the inside and a different color for the outside using the co-extruded frame option.

Awning-style windows: These windows are hinged at the top and open outward. They typically do not leak much air, and also offer a good amount of ventilation. They can also get left open when it’s raining, as they are able to deflect rain during storms. dpeterson
