It’s an age-old question that’s intrigued San Antonio home-owners since they’ve had windows to replace. And the honest answer is: of course it will. If you can sell your home with window replacement for more than it would be without replacing your windows, you’ve got yourself a good bargain. By how much depends on the replacement windows you choose to install, and the contractor you choose to install them with. 

In this post, read about the finer details of San Antonio window replacement and find out how you can install the absolute best windows to increase your home’s value. 

Replacement Windows in San Antonio: What You Need to Know

Window replacement—like any home improvement—is an investment. What you put in determines what you get out. When it comes to replacing your windows in San Antonio, there are a number of factors that can impact how much your new windows increase your home’s value. Keep these factors in mind when choosing San Antonio replacement windows for your home: 

Replacement Window Design

The different window materials used to make your window can impact the value of your San Antonio replacement windows. This includes the materials used to fabricate the window—whether it’s made from wood or vinyl, or whether it’s phthalate free—as well as the materials used to install it. Certain foams—used for the insulation around the window—are more eco-friendly than others, while different welds—the frame that holds the window together—vary in quality. We use fusion welding for durability.

Replacement Window Performance

Another factor to consider is the performance of your replacement windows. The coating that goes on each window, as well as the gas used to fill it—can affect both how resistant your windows are to unwanted outside heat, as well as how much noise that can be heard from the outside. These factors can also impact the value of your investment, since greater energy-efficiency and better sound-reduction can increase the value of your home. 

Replacement Window Security

Security is an important factor to consider when determining the value of replacing your San Antonio windows. This can be influenced by a number of design elements—such as whether the bottom sash connects to the frame when closed—or the strength of the center of the window. Other considerations, such as the durability of the cam-locks, and its “design pressure rating”—which measures the strength of the materials the window is built from—can also impact security. Finally, windows with weather-stripping can prevent the growth of mold or mildew, as well as shield your home from dust and other allergens—making it safer, and increasing its value.
