Advantages of Replacing Your Windows

Posted by admin on

One popular home improvement project is replacing old windows. New windows come with obvious benefits to homes including enhancing the appearance of the home. However, new windows hold a lot more benefits than just that! Take a look at some of the main advantages to replacing old windows:

Curb Appeal

Getting new windows can really improve the overall appearance of your home, both inside and out. Windows can dramatically transform a home from looking rundown into looking fresh and high-end. There are also so many different styles, sizes, and colors of windows to choose from today, enabling homeowners to pick the right windows to match their home perfectly. On the inside of a home, new windows provide more natural light within a home making it much brighter, which can enhance the ambiance.

Increase Value of Home

As with any home improvement project, replacing windows can positively impact the value of a home. If you are looking to sell your home in the near future, it is very important to make sure your windows are new and up to date. Many prospective buyers may disregard homes that have damaged windows that need to be replaced. Windows not only make a home look nice and new, but they are essential for insulation and protection from outdoor elements that can further damage your home.

Energy Efficient

Like discussed above, windows can be used as insulation. When windows become old or damaged, it can create cracks and drafts, causing the outside air to come in and your inside temperature-controlled air to escape. In the summertime, this can cause homeowners to turn up their air conditioning to combat the hot air seeping, and in the winter, they will blast the heat. This just causes homeowners’ heating and cooling bills to skyrocket. Replacing old windows with new high-quality windows can really improve temperatures within a home while dramatically decreasing the amount of money spent on energy bills.

Noise Reduction

Being woken up by neighbors mowing their lawn, barking dogs, or traffic can be very irritating. However, there is an easy solution, and that is to replace your old windows. If you are often bothered by noise pollution, it may be best for you to invest in triple pane glass, which will block out the majority of unwanted noises.

Watertown Full Home Remodel

Watertown Full RemodelThis next remodel is one of our favorites in recent years, because these homeowners had a vision for their home’s exterior that truly took it above & beyond! The Watertown, MA homeowners reached out to our team looking to completely reimagine their home’s exterior. They had a well-maintained home, but aspects were beginning to become a bit worn, and they decided it was time to transform the home’s exterior! If you’re interested in learning more about what went into this beautiful remodel, keep reading below for more information!

CertainTeed Monogram Vinyl Siding & Cedar Impressions

To begin, let’s discuss the siding materials we used for this replacement. The home’s existing siding was a pale, yellow vinyl siding which looked nice, but the homeowners were ready for something fresh. They decided that for their siding replacement, they would install a mixture of Cedar Impressions siding shingles, along with CertainTeed’s most popular siding option, Monogram vinyl siding. They had the idea of using both siding materials to craft a unique two-tone siding approach that truly helped this home’s exterior pop.

We installed Mountain Cedar Impressions siding shingles on the top half of the home, with the Monogram siding in Cypress installed along the lower half of the home! Both options, built by CertainTeed, have plenty of curb appeal and offer impeccable protection against all of Massachusetts’ inclement weather.

The homeowners were thrilled with the finished siding, but we still had more work to do on this home!

Marvin Double-Hung Windows

In addition to the new siding, our team installed new Marvin replacement windows in the home. The homeowners were looking to update their home’s windows along with the siding, and they elected to install new Marvin Essential Double-Hung windows around the home! The new windows complement the siding beautifully, and truly help bring the home’s exterior together in a cohesive manner. However, this home still needed one more finishing touch.

Therma-Tru Entry Door

Lastly, our team installed a new Therma-Tru entry door on the home! The homeowners decided to replace their old entry door while they were remodeling the rest of the home’s exterior, and they had us install a beautiful new black Therma-Tru entry door, providing the home with another focal point to draw your eye. It was the perfect accent to bring this remodel together!

Spring Home Maintenance Tips

Posted by admin on

Spring is in full bloom in Massachusetts. The leaves & flowers are coming out, the birds are
chirping, and the sun is sticking around longer every day! While New England is beautiful in the
springtime, it is also an important time for homeowners to take a look around their home’s
exterior. Massachusetts winters bring harsh weather conditions, including high winds, and bitter
frosts, which can deteriorate even the strongest homes over time. This makes it essential to
examine your home’s exterior each spring in order to assess the property for damage and make
any necessary repairs & replacements! If you’re interested in learning more about the home
maintenance you should be doing, keep reading below for more information!

Check Your Gutters

One of the most important bits of spring maintenance that you can do for your home is cleaning
your gutter system. For many homeowners, gutters are simply an afterthought, when in fact they
are a very important part of your home’s protection. Serving to safely route water away from
your home, having a clogged gutter system can cause considerable damage, as water pours
over the sides of the system, causing moisture damage to edge of your roof deck & starter
shingles, your fascia & soffit boards, and even your home’s foundation.

Be sure to clean your gutters at least once a year in the spring in order to ensure the system is
working properly!

Examine Your Shingles

Another piece of your roofing system that should be examined is your shingles. Your home’s
roof is exposed to all sorts of weather conditions, which eventually cause the shingles to
deteriorate. When the weather thaws, you should check on your roof’s integrity to ensure your
home won’t develop any leaks. Have a roofing professional examine the shingles for any
damage, as well as the flashing around your chimney & vents to ensure the roof isn’t leaking.

Checks Windows & Doors

Finally, you should be sure to examine your home’s windows & doors to ensure that they
haven’t absorbed any moisture. Due to the snow that lies at your door’s threshold, and window
sills, they are both exposed to standing water, particularly during the last month or two of winter
as everything thaws out. This can cause rot damage around the frames of both units, making it
essential to examine them both come spring. You can use a blunt, but pointy, object, such as a
screwdriver, to poke around the sills & thresholds for any sections of rotted wood. If you find
any, be sure to replace them in order to protect your home from additional water damage.

Noise Reduction

If you find that your home is louder than it should be, your home’s windows may be to blame.

Winter Window Replacements

Benefits of Winter Window Replacements

Posted by admin on

When it comes to making exterior remodeling repairs, most homeowners would assume that work should be done in the spring, summer or fall, with winter as the last resort or when they’re in need of emergency repairs. However, having your home renovated during the off-peak season can offer a number of benefits that you wouldn’t receive trying to renovate your home during the peak of the season. If you’re interested in learning more about the benefits of winter window replacements, take a look below for more information!

Discover Issues You Can’t Find In The Summer

When the winter cold is in full swing in Massachusetts, it can be downright bitter. Frigid mornings, icy roads, and Nor’Easters are commonplace. When the winter arrives, it becomes far easier to determine whether your windows are leaking, as the cold air can be felt leaking through the frames of your poorly sealed or insulated windows. If you’ve been having trouble determining whether your windows need to be replaced, all you really need to do is wait for the winter cold to set in and you’ll quickly and easily be able to identify which windows are leaking and in need of replacing!

Better Deals on Window Replacements

Another advantage of winter window replacements is that many companies offer discounts on window replacements during the winter months.  As homeowners hunker down for the winter, there are companies who are willing to offer deals during the slow season, making it a great time to replace your windows if you’re in need. Not only does the cold make it far easier to identify which windows need to be replaced, a discount is the extra incentive that many homeowners need to get started on their projects!

Flexible Installations

Another advantage that the slow season provides is quicker turnaround times on remodeling work. During the spring, summer, and fall, contractors are often backed up with work, making it difficult to get timely replacements if your home is desperately in need! It can also be difficult to find a contractor who has a schedule that lines up with yours during the busier months, as all of the desirable times & days are often chosen far before you’ve even booked your job. The winter, on the other hand, offers the chance to find a time that works for you, making it easier to get your project completed in a timely manner.
