Perhaps you’ve heard about the cost-saving advantages of energy-efficient windows and found no reason for doubts.

Every homeowner wants their roof to look good, but the more important concern when it comes to overall functionality is durability. Roofing that is specially engineered for durability will protect your home more reliably and longer than conventionally made options.

Like many Seattle homeowners, you began learning about the roof installation process only after you decided to replace your roof. Don’t assume this puts you at a disadvantage, however.

For most homeowners, money is the biggest limiting factor when deciding which home renovations to pursue. Some renovations pay off more than others in terms of property value, so it’s no surprise that homeowners tend to focus on those. But what about window replacement projects?

As a Seattle resident, you know firsthand how cold and rainy our weather can get, especially in the winter months. During particularly severe seasons, many residents hardly venture outside their homes, and who can blame them? A warm, cozy home beats the soggy, frigid outdoors any day.

It’s well known that it rains a lot in Seattle, so it just makes sense that any product you choose for your home’s exterior be able to endure repeated moisture exposure. Roofing is a prime example.

New windows can make your home more attractive while improving ventilation, energy efficiency, and opening your home to better views and more natural light.

According to Remodeling Magazine, a Seattle homeowner can expect to recoup 87% of the cost of a new roof at the time of home resale. That’s a much higher return on investment at resale as compared to most other home improvements.

Windows do a lot more for a home than many homeowners might assume. In addition to opening living spaces to views and natural light, windows—top-quality ones, in particular—add beauty and a sense of spaciousness. But windows must serve all of these functions without compromising thermal comfort.
