Replacement Windows: What Is the Cost and Does It Increase Home Value?
Briefly

A survey reveals that a significant portion of baby boomers intends to stay in their homes longer, prompting investments in home improvements, particularly replacement windows. Windows typically require replacement every 15 to 30 years, depending on their condition. Key indicators for needing replacement include drafts, high energy bills, broken windows, and condensation. The costs vary based on window type, location, and additional features, with vinyl windows priced between $300 to $800 each, and wood windows from $700 to $1,200.
In general, you should replace windows every 15 to 30 years," says Jim Marino, CEO of Pinnacle Home Improvements.
Drafty windows might lead to higher energy bills and indicate that your home isn't energy efficient, often requiring urgent replacement.
