I Currently Have Wood Sash Windows. Does Replacing Them With Vinyl Windows Hurt My Resell Value?
Here are some considerations in response to a question I am asked often: “My house is 20 years old and most of the seals have broken and the windows are fogged. We are looking at replacement options and have found that vinyl is a lot less expensive than wood or composite. Our house is worth about $500k and we don’t want to hurt our resell since we will be moving within the next 3-5 years. Will vinyl windows hurt the resell value in a house in our price range?”
Today, I talk to a homeowner with two window problems. The seals on her windows have failed, and another window in the kitchen is bleaching her floors and cabinets. UV rays are fading the color right out. Tinted windows could be an option, but there’s a better way to keep UV rays from fading colors in your home….
