Can New Windows Increase Your Home Value?

If you're considering home improvements, one smart question to ask is: Will new windows actually increase my home’s value? The answer is yes—more than most people think.

At American Way Exteriors, we install ProVia windows for homeowners across Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, and we’ve seen firsthand how replacing old, outdated windows can completely change how a home looks, feels, and performs—while adding serious value.

Do New Windows Add Resale Value?

Yes—and the numbers back it up. According to the 2024 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, homeowners who replaced their windows saw an average return on investment (ROI) of:

• 68.5% for vinyl window replacement
  
  
• 61.2% for wood window replacement
  
  

That means if you spend $15,000 on new vinyl windows, you could see about $10,275 added back to your home’s resale value.

But it’s not just about resale—new windows can also help your home sell faster by improving its curb appeal, comfort, and energy efficiency.

5 Reasons New Windows Boost Home Value

1. Lower Energy Bills

Old windows are often leaky, drafty, and poorly insulated. ProVia’s energy-efficient windows are ENERGY STAR® certified and designed to seal in comfort—keeping warm air in during the winter and hot air out in the summer. This means lower monthly energy bills, which is something both current homeowners and future buyers care about.

2. Modern Curb Appeal

New windows can instantly upgrade the look of your home, inside and out. Whether it’s ProVia’s clean double-hung designs or a bold picture window, fresh, well-installed windows show buyers that your home is well cared for. That can make a huge difference in first impressions.

3. Better Comfort & Function

ProVia windows don’t just look good—they work better. They open and close smoothly, lock securely, and reduce outdoor noise. They also help keep a consistent indoor temperature, making your home more comfortable in every season.

4. Strong ROI

Window replacement continues to rank as one of the top home improvement projects in terms of ROI. While kitchen remodels and additions often cost tens of thousands more with lower returns, window upgrades give you a high return without breaking the bank.

5. Increased Home Security

New windows from ProVia are built with reinforced frames and high-quality locking systems that offer better protection than older windows. For families looking to buy, security is always a top concern—and upgraded windows check that box.

Why Choose ProVia Windows?

At American Way Exteriors, we only install ProVia because of the quality, performance, and long-term value they bring. These windows are made to handle Ohio’s tough weather while giving you great energy savings and a clean, attractive look.

ProVia offers many window styles—like casement, bay, bow, and sliding—with frame options that fit every home design. They also come with strong warranties, so you know your investment is protected.

So, Should You Replace Your Windows?

If your windows are over 15-20 years old, hard to open, drafty, or just plain outdated, then yes—it’s worth considering. New windows can make your home more energy-efficient, more attractive, and easier to sell down the road.

And with ProVia windows installed by American Way Exteriors, you’re not just getting new windows—you’re getting peace of mind, professional craftsmanship, and a team that stands behind the work.
