It is a cliché, but there really is no place like home. Investing in your home is investing in your own personal well-being and peace of mind. If your siding, windows, or entry doors are more than 10 years old, consider replacing them.
McHenry Remodeling suggests these three home upgrades to help make your home feel more pleasant and enjoyable all throughout the year:
Windows
If your older windows are made with wooden or aluminum frames, consider replacement. Over time, these windows easily rot and warp, which can compromise the weather tight seal of the windows. Small leaks can lead to energy loss and, in turn, increased energy bills. Additionally, ordinary glass can let in a lot of heat from the sun, making it warm indoors. These two factors can make it hotter inside your home and overwork your air-conditioning system.
Replacement windows from McHenry Remodeling are equipped with vinyl frames and low-E glass. These vinyl frames are resistant to warping and rotting. Meanwhile, low-E glass prevents damaging UV rays from entering your home. This helps to keep you cool and comfortable indoors.
Doors
Windows are not the only thing that may drive your energy bills up. Older doors with cracks may let drafts through. A wooden or metal door is not a proper barrier for thermal loss. You might end up spending a lot on heating because of a door that is not energy-efficient.
For doors that can help preserve the warm or cool temperature that you prefer indoors. New doors are specially designed to prevent energy loss. They are also tough enough to keep the elements out. What’s more, they come in a variety of appealing designs that can match your personal tastes.
Siding
Another possible upgrade that can help improve comfort in your home is the installation of James Hardie siding. This siding allows your home to maintain a constant temperature throughout the changing seasons. This siding not only helps you save on bills and keeps you cozy. It is also low-maintenance and weather-resistant.
