One major barrier to installing and investing in replacement windows is the upfront cost for materials and labor. However, homeowners will take solace to know that the majority of this investment is recouped when the home is sold.

According to the 2009 survey of Cost versus Value by Remodeling Magazine (remodeling.com), replacement windows generally yield between 85 and 90 percent return on investment, ranking among the highest of remodel projects. This means that even if you move, you will gain value from your decision to replace your windows.

Moreover, selecting high-quality, energy-efficient windows can significantly lower home energy consumption. Expertly engineered and well-built windows can cut energy costs by 30%. With windows that have vinyl frames, there is virtually no maintenance, as there is no need to scrape and paint.

These energy and maintenance savings enable homeowners to recoup their window investment over time. Replacement windows are one of the best returns on investment of any home improvement project. If you choose properly and treat them with care, you may might never have to replace your windows again.
