Exterior Improvements

Exterior improvements to your home may have the biggest impact on its value. Replacing old siding, roofing, doors, and windows improves your home’s curb appeal. It also saves you money on your heating and cooling costs. Remodeling magazine estimates that these replacements vary in the percentage of cost recouped from 70-82% (www.costvsvalue.com).

Aged siding can make your home look outdated because the siding on older homes is significantly faded. And sometimes, older siding has allowed water to leak in around the windows and resulted in structural damage. Replacing the siding allows homeowners to update the color and add stylish elements to the exterior of your home. Homeowners can also add vinyl wrap over wooden elements, like window surrounds. This prevents you from having to paint them in the future.

Replacement windows are a popular choice for many homeowners because they make older homes so much more energy efficient. So if you currently have older single-pane windows in this part of the country, installing high efficiency replacement windows could save you up to $366 per year, or 22% of your heating and cooling costs, according to the government’s Energy Star program. If you currently have double-pane windows, energy star replacement windows could save you up to $134 per year, or 9% of your energy bills. Your exterior improvements project can also allow you to claim a tax credit from the federal government, or make you eligible for rebates from your utility company, which could offset the cost of installation.
