REPLACEMENT WINDOWS
FALL DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN AN END
TO HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
B
each vacations have come
to an end, school's back in
session, and temps are cooling.
As the seasons change renovations
may not be top-of-mind,
but for certain projects this is
actually the best time of year to
undergo home improvements.
1
Energy effi ciency means
you save on your utility bill,
obviously, but it also means
a more comfortable home
on top of minimizing your
environmental impact.
Energystar.gov has compiled
a list of the most energy
effi cient windows on the
market, including 8
offerings from Marvin®,
the industry-leader of
energy saving technologies.
Weather conditions are
accommodating. Not only
is it milder, meaning you won't
expose the interior of your home
to the extreme heats of summer,
thunderstorms are much less
likely in the fall than spring.
And when you think about
choosing the quickest ways to
upgrade your home with the
highest return, replacement
windows are on the list. So,
what makes fall a great time of
year for new windows?
2
Thanksgiving, Christmas,
New Year's celebrations.
Are you planning one? New
windows might be part of getting
your home holiday-ready by
creating a comfortable space
that you'll want to show-off.
3Of course the new aesthetic and ease of opening/closing a
replacement window is appealing, but energy effi ciency is the
motivation for many homeowners and winter can be a brutal time
of year if your home is drafty. Tackling this upgrade during the fall
can save you from another year of taping up old windows or
avoiding certain rooms in your home.
The easiest way to select the colors and features you want without
the stress of a high-pressured sales pitch in your home is to
visit a local showroom. GR Mitchell's Willow Street location has
a wide variety of windows and doors displayed, plus if you need
recommendations knowledgeable employees are available to
assist. Their close relationship with local contractors means they
can even help you to select the best professional for your project.
4 Exterior and remodeling companies
are typically busiest in
the spring and summer. As demand
typically slows later in the year,
you're likely to fi nd more fl exible
scheduling and possibly even more
favorable labor prices than during
peak season. Product availability
also improves; This means the
time between ordering and arrival
of your new windows and doors is
likely to shorten.
