How to add Curb Appeal to Your Home this Spring | Denver Replacement Windows

As in true Colorado fashion, we are still getting snow this spring.

But don’t let the weather deter you from starting to think about giving your home a refresh! The temperatures are starting to (kind of) warm up, and the days are getting longer! Spring is on its way, and it is time to clean up and clear out any traces of the brutal and long Colorado winter we have had this year.

Consider Replacing your Old Windows, Exterior Doors, or Siding

Installing ENERGY-STAR® qualified windows and doors can also help to lower your energy bills and save you money. New Windows for America offers custom windows to fit every style and budget of your home.

Refresh Your Landscaping

  • Inspect your trees and shrubs and be on the lookout for cracks, broken limbs, or seasonal effects. Your trees and shrubs could benefit from some pruning to encourage new growth.
    Consult a tree or shrub expert for additional help as they also can help with insect activity.
  • Add fresh mulch to help protect your trees and shrubs as it acts as a protective barrier and prevents weeds from emerging.
  • Add plants and flowers to give a welcome and warm entrance. Consult your local nursery for advice on different plants and flowers and of course the best time to plant.

Add Outdoor Lighting

Adding outside lighting features can help highlight your home, increase your time spent outside, improve safety and security, and increase your property value. Consider replacing exterior light fixtures, adding pathway lights, or garden lights, or even some home security lights.

Clean up your Home’s Exterior

Give your home a fresh and clean look, by power washing the exterior of your home, cleaning your windows, sweeping off your front porch, and clearing out your gutters and downspouts. For more tips on spring home maintenance tips, click here.

Reduce Heat Loss in Your Denver Home

Reduce Heat Loss in Your Denver Home | New Windows for America

Winter has finally set in here in Denver, with freezing temperatures and snowy weather. As Old Man Winter is settling in, we want to keep the cold out, and the warm heat in. Keeping the heat in your home makes your life more comfortable, while also keeping your heating expenses down. Heat loss in your home means that your house is not retaining the heat, and instead, it is escaping outside. Keeping your utility costs down this winter by reducing the amount of heat loss will make your wallet happy.

Ensure your home stays warm and comfortable all season long by making your home more energy-efficient. Taking a few simple steps can help you reduce the energy loss in your home and reduce your heating bills.

Keep Your Colorado Home Safe and Warm this Winter Season

Residential energy bills are on the rise this year, in fact, according to the Colorado Office of the Utility Consumer Advocate, your Xcel Energy bill could rise as much as 54% over last year.

Check your insulation in the attic

Heat rises, and if your attic is not insulated properly, all of that precious warm air will escape your home. If you are not able to safely check the insulation in your attic, contact a professional who can do an in-home evaluation.

Insulate your walls

If you have an older home, chances are that there is little insulation in your walls. Typically, exterior walls need to be six inches thick, while older homes may only have 4 inches. Adding blown-in insulation is a quick, easy and efficient option. Contact an insulation expert for an in-home estimate and evaluation.

Window Replacement

Are your windows not fitting properly, difficult to open/close, or warped? It’s easy to tell on a cold winter day if your windows are leaking precious warm air. Single-pane glass is much less efficient than double-pane insulated glass. Choosing a vinyl replacement window like Vinylmax is a cost-effective and efficient solution while at the same time adding beauty, and comfort to your Denver home.

Replacing your Front Entry Door

If your door feels like it is allowing cold air into your home, it is a good sign that your entry door needs to be replaced. Replacing your front door with a fiberglass or steel door can ensure that cold air doesn’t step into your home while giving your home an upgraded look and amazing curb appeal.

Sealing areas in your home

Warm air can escape through small cracks and spaces. Check around your sink pipes, appliance ducts, and chimney for areas that could be re-sealed or caulked to prevent warm air from escaping. Energy.gov has some great tips on how to reduce the number of air leaks in your home to cut your heating costs this winter!

The Team at New Windows for America is Ready to Help You!

We are ready to help you add beautiful, energy-efficient windows and doors to your home today and help you ensure you don’t incur any unnecessary heat loss in your home this winter. The bonus is that you will enjoy the benefits of your replacement windows all year long!

Leave Window Replacement to the Pros

Posted on | by uyfl33h5
Leave Window Replacement to the Professionals | Denver Replacement Windows | New Windows for America

Our homes are our sanctuary, and we only want the very best for our house, for safety, as well as design and comfort. If you’re considering replacing your old windows, our recommendation is that you should leave this to a professional. Many homeowners believe that it will save them money if they do their own home improvement projects. While there are many house projects homeowners can do themselves, there are some remodeling projects that are best left to the professionals.

Professional installers have the right skills, tools, and knowledge to handle window installation projects, as well as the latest industry knowledge. Consulting with a window expert like New Windows for America is important when considering whether you need new windows, what type of windows is best for the home, and having a professional, and reputable company to do the job.

Read on for five reasons why replacing windows should be done by a professional.

Installation Quality

Windows are some of the most important and significant components of your home, influencing your energy efficiency, curb appeal and comfort. Installing windows takes experience and knowledge which is why window replacement installation should not be done by a novice, but rather by hiring the skills of a window expert. Starting from selecting the right windows, to pre-installation custom measurements, protecting the home and work area, removing old windows, working on frame repair, if necessary, to installing the replacement window, sealing and insulation, applying trim, etc., there are many steps that a window installation expert will ensure when hired to do a professional window replacement.

If windows are not installed properly you may end up losing a lot of energy from the home, which could be quite costly for your energy costs. If installed properly, the return on your investment will be paid back in no time!

Warranty Protection

Window manufacturing companies typically only warranty their products when installed by certified contractors. Professional window replacement comes with a manufacturer’s warranty as well as a workmanship warranty from New Windows for America that guarantees the quality of the service. Should you decide to install the windows yourself, there are no guarantees, and could also count towards a voided manufacturer’s warranty.

Time

There’s no sense in putting in extra time for your DIY project to only encounter issues later on. Spending extra time to learn how to do the project, using the right techniques, and having to purchase the necessary tools to do the job are timely and costly. At New Windows for America, we have been installing new windows in the Denver area for over 25 years. We have the knowledge, tools, and experience to do the job in a timely manner.

Safety

It’s no secret that working with windows can be dangerous. You’re dealing with sharp edges, slanted or awkward angles, and heavy pieces of glass. That doesn’t even include the stress that can come with DIY projects that involve heights. Your best bet is to leave the job to the pros. We have the right protective gear to ensure the work area is safe for you and our team.

Peace of Mind

Worrying about whether your home renovation project is done correctly is not worth it. Hiring a professional means, you will be assured that your project is completed properly. A professional can put in the extra time needed and double-check your work to ensure things are right. You don’t have to pay attention to it while they’re at work!

The Bottom Line

We would recommend choosing a professional window installation company. If you choose to do it yourself, you may not get it completely right and could leave you with a risky and expensive project on your hands. Get at least one professional bid before deciding which company to use.

Rest easy, in knowing that your windows were replaced correctly, and professionally by a locally and family-owned business like New Windows for America. Contact our team today and get a free estimate on your new windows.

Trending Window Styles & Designs for 2022

Posted on | by uyfl33h5

Magazines, influencers, social media posts, and insights from homestyle professionals all point to what is trending for design ideas for our homes. Deciding on the best window style can sometimes be confusing.

Here are some of the current window design trends and ideas to give your house an updated change:

Black Exterior Trim

Using rich colors on window frames has become increasingly popular, adding drama to your home’s exterior, and elevating curb appeal. Black and colored exterior trim is commonly used to reflect individuality and a distinct personality for one’s home.  Choosing a colored trim can offer a bold contrast giving your home a unique look and feel.

Vinyl window frames require much less frequent maintenance than painted wood windows and are used widely by many of today’s top remodeling designers. Noting also that black windows can often add up to 15% more value than regular white windows.

New Windows for America proudly offers VinylMax windows in a number of different series such as Edison, Inspire, Trend, and Prestige that offer colored laminated exteriors. Please contact us to learn more about these trending window styles.

Flexible Living

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have quickly become a way to expand the living space for flexible use, adding on to one’s home, above a garage, or a stand-alone building on your property. To create consistency and uniformity in your home, it is important to coordinate the style, shape, size, and color with your main property.

The Team at New Windows for America can offer helpful design options to work within your budget.

Privacy or Translucent Glass

Privacy or translucent glass obscures the view from both sides allowing the light to still peek through. Depending on your home, some of your windows may lack privacy while at the same time owners still want the flexibility of having natural light. Privacy glass can be an option for those homeowners who may want to create private spaces within their homes. Some options for privacy glass can come in frosted, tinted, textured, patterned, and opaque glass.

Custom Shaped Windows

No two rooms are exactly the same! Give your house some unexpected character by adding an arched, or circular window.  The look and function of the windows in your home can be designed to fit your design vision.

Bringing the Outside, In!

Choosing floor-to-ceiling windows is an amazing option for optimizing daylight and enjoying sweeping views from the comfort of your home. It is important for people to interact with or be close to nature, plants, and animals. Having large windows can make people feel more connected to nature and the environment, in the privacy of their own homes.

Are you ready for your next home improvement project? Let the Team at New Windows for America be a part of your project! We can help you understand the energy efficiency of new windows, as well as provide you with options for window design and styles, all to fit within your budget.

Cost of Window Replacement | Denver Window Replacement | New Windows for America

Budgeting for Window Replacement

One of the most common home maintenance projects is window replacement. The cost of window replacement can vary depending on window type, material, size, energy efficiency, etc. The Team at New Windows for America can help you figure out precisely what you should spend to achieve your dream window replacement project without breaking your bank or making other sacrifices regarding family or material goods.

Window Size

Typically the larger the window, the more expensive the replacement due to the extra materials, and labor involved. There may also be some additional costs of window replacement like rotten wood repairs, drip cap flashing, and waterproofing that can increase costs.

Material Considerations

Different types of material will be more or less expensive, depending on the manufacturer and even the condition of your windows. Popular choices include vinyl, wood, fiberglass, and composite. Weighing out the pros and cons of each material is something you should talk to the Team at New Windows for America, to help make the best decision for your budget and for your home.

Window Styles

It is important to consider window style when calculating the cost of replacement windows. You can read about finding The Best Window Style for your Home in one of our recent blog articles.

Window Location

The location of a window can add to the expense of a window replacement. Code requirements for windows in the bathrooms, bedrooms, etc., can add to cost, for example, tempered glass, or egress requirements, as well as specialty or decorative windows, which can also increase the price. There may be additional costs for windows on upper floors, or hard-to-reach areas as installations can cause increased labor costs, special equipment, or more time to complete a project.

Create a Budget

Often times homeowners need to replace multiple windows at one time. It is a good idea to create a budget for the cost of the entire project prior to getting started.

Can Replacing Your Windows Add Value to Your Home?

Posted on | by uyfl33h5

Windows are an integral part of your home. Replacing them adds immediate curb appeal, but also increases your property value significantly. The added value of new windows is the subject of hot debate among building experts. Here are some points you may consider when deciding whether to replace your home windows.

Determine if your Windows need to be Replaced

Are your windows starting to look warped, discolored, or foggy? This is typically a sign that moisture is starting to seep in, and your windows may be at risk for rot or decay. Are your energy bills noticeably higher? Energy inefficiency can dramatically increase your energy bills, a costly sign that it may be time to replace your windows.

If you’re not sure if your windows need to be replaced, give the Team at New Windows for America a call at 303.920.0175 and we will give our honest opinion.

Save Money with Energy-Efficient Windows

Replacing your windows with new ones will make your home more energy efficient. Double-pane windows don’t just save money on heating and air-conditioning costs, and they also help protect the environment. Each year Americans lose so much money on wasteful heating and cooling systems. Replacing old windows with energy-efficient ones can significantly cut these costs down.

The National Fenestration Rating Council, or NFRC, offers energy performance rating labels for window types that can tell you a lot about the efficiency of any particular window. While shopping for window replacements, these labels will be a great way to tell which windows will improve your energy efficiency quickly. 

Do New Windows Increase Home Value?

Windows are an integral part of your home’s value. Some experts even recommend replacing windows if you plan to sell your home within two years because investing in window replacement can significantly improve the market value of your property and give you a better return on investment.

Most home buyers are willing to pay more for homes that have more energy-efficient features. Investing in new windows is one excellent way to improve energy efficiency.

How New Windows Can Save Your Money

You could earn up to 30% tax credit with new energy-efficient windows. Click here to read more! We can help you with what options are best for your home.

The potentially high cost of new home windows may be intimidating. The return on investment for new windows may not be apparent for quite some time. CNBC reported that paying $10,000 for replacement vinyl windows could yield a return of about $8,500 – or an ROI of 85%. This is also on top of what you would save monthly with reduced energy bills – up to $450 per year.

New Windows will improve your Curb Appeal

If you’re looking for ways to give your home a facelift, replace old windows with new ones. Replacing windows can not only increase your home’s value, but it can also boost the aesthetic appeal of your property. In addition, your neighbors won’t be jealous of you when they see your newly designed windows and will want to get the same treatment. This is a smart investment, especially if you plan to sell shortly.

New Windows are a Smart Investment

Replacing your windows is a smart investment. The added value of new windows is worth it. Whether you replace your windows for aesthetic purposes or to improve the energy efficiency of your property, you’ll be glad you did.

What Window Style is Right for your Home?

Each window style and brand have different features, design, and functionality making them unique. Talk to us about where your window replacement needs are, as one style may work better than another. This may depend on design, home style, energy efficiency, and more.

Types of Windows

Here are the main types of window styles which include:

  • Awning Windows
  • Bay Windows
  • Bow Windows
  • Casement Windows
  • Double Slider Windows
  • Single Hung Windows
  • Double Hung Windows
  • Picture Windows

Awning Windows

An awning window, sometimes also called a project-out window, is a top-hinged style window outward opening window providing maximum airflow and ventilation. They sit horizontally and are usually installed above or below stationary windows. Awning windows are a versatile option and commonly used in basements.

Bay Windows

Bay windows feature panels using several angles, to create an alcove. They are a perfect option for rooms that bring in natural light such as the dining room, living room, or bedroom. Bay Windows can add curb appeal and value as they instantly become a focal point and point of interest.

Bow Windows

Bow windows, much like bay windows, are made up of four or more panels, creating a curved semi-circular shape. This option is flexible in terms of size, shape, and functionality and can provide an elegant and expansive view, not to mention an increased curb appeal.

Casement Windows

These windows are the most popular style of window. Casement windows are hinged at the side and crank to the outside, providing a sophisticated yet practical style to your home. This window style is typically installed in the kitchen as they are easy to open and close as well as provides maximum airflow and ventilation.

Single Slider Windows

Single slider windows are a more simplified version of the double slider as you slide the windows horizontally to open and close. These windows are a cost-effective solution, highly secure, and easy to clean and maintain making these windows a practical option for many homeowners.

Double Slider Windows

These windows are common in most homes as they are easy to use and open both sides of the window allowing increased airflow into the home. Double slider windows are also low maintenance, simple to use, and easy to clean.

Single Hung Windows

Another common window style is single-hung windows. These windows are ideal for patios, sunrooms, or any other room in your home. They are versatile, simple to use, and typically have a traditional style sash for enhanced security. These windows come in a variety of styles, with a sleek and contemporary style, and are popular as they are low in maintenance.

Double Hung Windows

Double-hung windows are a classic style with amazing installation to help you save money on energy bills by keeping warmth inside. They typically have a full screen and two operable sashes to allow the window to move up and down. These windows provide functionality yet are very practical making them also a very popular style for most homes.  These windows are ideal in smaller rooms, are easy to clean and maintain, and come in a variety of styles.

Picture Windows

Picture windows, also known as fixed windows, are great for large openings that do not require a window to open, but rather enjoy expansive views from inside and outside of the home. These windows bring daylight into homes and are an excellent choice for framing views where ventilation is not a concern. Picture windows come in all styles, sizes, and shapes making them perfect and essential for architectural design.

Installing new windows at fall temperatures also allows for the best adhesion to seal your new windows.

Flexible Scheduling & Installation
