Older windows often develop small gaps or cracks in or around their frames over time.

Older windows can make your home colder in winter and raise your heating bills. With older windows, your heating system comes on and off more often in order to maintain a set temperature. Investing in windows for colder climates helps ensure that your home remains warm and your energy bills stay low.

When planning your home resale, put bathroom remodeling at the top of the to-do list. Most buyers want a master bath as well as a family bathroom and a powder room for guests. But these days, just having enough bathrooms isn’t enough.
