"They were quick, always responsive and very reasonably priced. They worked with me on my small project but didn't make me feel like an inconvenience because it was just 2 windows that needed repair. The technician that came out was very friendly and even offered a better solution for a screen replacement then what I had and at no additional cost, which is virtually unheard of nowadays. You also can't beat their warranty."

When it comes to home improvement, deciding which projects are the most important can be difficult. Large jobs like kitchen remodeling or finishing a basement certainly make a big impact on the overall function of a home, but in many cases, they are either too expensive, or simply don't need to be done with any haste. If you're looking to increase your property value and the efficiency of your house at the same time, however, few things fit the bill like window replacement. Chicago is an excellent city for a project such as this for several reasons, and homeowners in the market to make improvements should definitely consider the benefits that come with new windows.
Practical Window Replacement
Though you might have other ideas for your home that you want to get to first, if you've got old windows in Chicago, window replacement is likely to be a project that will be well worth the effort. The Windy City is known for many things, but one aspect of its reputation that has a huge bearing on the function of your home is its long, cold winters. Heating a house is expensive, and it doesn't look like it's going to get cheaper any time soon. Old windows, even if they seem to be working just fine, are simply not effective when it comes to reducing heat transfer in a climate like that of Chicago. Window replacement is even more beneficial if your old windows have gaps around the frames or loose panes of glass.
When compared to an older, single pane window, a modern double or triple pane window can reduce heat transfer significantly. This means savings on heating costs over the winter (in some cases, up to about 40 percent), and if you have air conditioning, savings all year round. You'll also notice a difference in how comfortable your living space is, since properly installed modern windows should greatly reduce drafts. Not all new windows are created equal, however, so take the time to talk to a contractor in your area about what he or she has seen make the most marked difference at the most affordable price.
Aesthetics
Aside from the more pragmatic reasons to replace windows in Chicago, many homeowners take out the old and ring in the new for appearances, too. The fact is, many people simply aren't satisfied with the amount of natural light that currently enters the home. Lack of natural light has also been linked to physical ailments and depression. Sprucing up the outside of your house with new windows isn't just going to increase curb appeal, it will make a dramatic difference in the appearance of the inside of your home, and may even end up being a healthy choice for those living inside!
The installation of a picture, bay, or bow window will have a dramatic influence on your homes appearance both inside and out. These larger window installations are, of course, a bit more involved and expensive than simply replacing existing windows with newer models of the same size, but the boost in appearance (and property value, as well) is enough to keep the homeowners that opt for this kind of project looking on the bright side.
Prices
In Chicago, window replacement is a little more expensive than the national average. Installing all new wood windows costs a little less than $13,500 on average, while vinyl windows come in at about $12,250. The good news is that the amount of construction cost that is immediately added to your home's resale value is more than 90 percent in both scenarios. When you add that to the savings you're likely to see on your annual energy bills and the increase in appearance and performance to your home, Chicago window replacement is one of the most desirable home improvement projects in the area.
