Will New Windows Increase My Home’s Property Value?

October 17, 2019

John's Lumber New Windows Can Increase Property Value

Windows are an essential part of any habitable structure. Homeowners are very value-minded. They want to know that any renovations they make will increase property value as well as comfort and aesthetics. If you are on the fence about what to update next, have you considered your home’s windows?

The Financial Benefits of Replacement Windows

Replacing windows can increase your home’s property value. The exact amounts will depend on how old the existing windows were during your last assessment as well as the new windows you install. For example, if you invest $15,000 in windows, then your property value may rise by around $11,000. That gives you a 74% return on investment. The cost of the project will vary, as well as how much value it adds to your home.

Other Money-Saving Benefits of New Windows

New windows can provide additional benefits. They add curb appeal, which can draw in potential buyers if you choose to sell. They can also stop drafts and improve insulation, which will cut down on monthly utility bills.

Some styles are designed to work with nature to help keep your home warm or cool as needed. Harness more solar heat and spend less on gas or electric during the winter months.

You can also rest easier, knowing that your new windows improve your home’s security. A professional can install them to ensure that they are strong, sturdy, and have functioning locks.

If you are interested in learning more about new window installation, let us know. John’s Lumber can answer your questions and show you styles that can increase your property value.

How Do I Know if I Need New Windows or Doors?

August 8, 2019

Johns Lumber How Do I Know If I Need New Windows or Doors

Windows and doors are an essential part of any home. We often take them for granted. They prevent intruders and wildlife from coming in and help protect us from the elements outdoors. They can last for years, but even the best brands have a lifespan. How can you tell if your windows and doors are ready to be replaced?

  • It’s Harder to Control Indoor Climate – If you notice drafts when doors and windows are closed or your energy bills are going up, then it’s likely time for an update. Deteriorated windows and doors won’t keep the elements out like they used to and will make it harder to maintain comfortable temperatures indoors.
  • Noise Pollution Is Heard Inside – Do you notice more sounds from outdoors making their way into your living space? Your windows and doors are likely not doing their job. Newer models offer better insulation, so your home stays peaceful.
  • Frames Feel Soft or Appear Damaged – If window or door frames feel soft or have noticeable damage, you may need at least a repair if not a whole replacement. Water damage can cause significant deterioration, which needs to be addressed quickly.
  • It’s Difficult to Open, Close, or Lock – If you can’t easily open, close, and/or lock your windows and doors, then that’s a sure sign you need new ones. Even hardware will age and eventually fail. Replace now before you can’t open or lock your home.

We can help you find the best products based on your household needs and budget. Stop by or contact John’s Lumber in Clinton Township or Shelby Township today to learn more about new door and window installation.

DIY Barnwood Projects

July 23, 2019

John's Lumber DIY Barn Wood Interiors

Barnwood is an incredibly popular material to work with and for good reason. As a recycled material, it is something you can feel good about putting to use while upgrading the look and appeal of your home. Here are a few of John’s Lumber reclaimed Barnwood projects you can do all on your own.

#1 – Decorative Shelving

Barnwood shelving is simple to construct and can be completed with standard shelving hardware. What better place for personal mementos?

#2 – Wall Paneling

Reclaimed Barnwood is the perfect material for paneling, which can be repurposed again at a later time if needed. This relatively simple project quickly infuses rustic charm in any room of your house and will inspire a farm like atmosphere.

#3 – Pallet Garden Walkway

Individual pieces of Barnwood can be arranged in a walkway fashion to help guests navigate your land. Unlike stones which commonly sink into the surrounding landscape, a pallet garden walkway is inexpensive and easy to maintain.

#4 – Rustic Bookcase

The natural allure of a rustic bookcase is hard to escape. Since you are crafting it yourself you get to choose how tall and wide it is, and add finishing touches as you please. This is a useful trick for adding book storage in spaces which do not accommodate standard bookcases.

The possibilities when working with Barnwood are limitless. Stop by either of John’s Lumber local store locations in Clinton Township and Shelby Township to pick-up some reclaimed Barnwood for your next project.

5 Reasons to Install New Windows in Your Home

July 11, 2019

Johns Lumber 5 Reasons to Install New Windows in Your Home

New windows can have a huge impact on your living space. If your home hasn’t been updated in a while, now is the time to think about your next project. Why should you consider installing new windows sooner rather than later?

  • New Features

Older windows usually have fewer features. Today’s models come with many helpful extras that improve the look and operation of your windows. Some features even make them easier to maintain. For example, some models have between-the-glass blinds that reduce dust in your home.

  • UV Protection

Natural light is lovely indoors. However, you don’t want ultraviolet rays to cause fading on interior surfaces, furniture, and home décor. New windows are available with double or triple panes with argon for UV protection.

  • Home Security and Safety

Strong windows mean improved home security for your family. Some models come with safety features like tempered glass that won’t splinter if broken. A new installation also provides you the opportunity to remove any broken or aging locks so that your windows are less likely to be used as a point of entry.

  • Indoor Noise Pollution

Noise pollution can affect your health and comfort. High-quality windows can be installed that shield your interior rooms from outdoor sounds. Some are specifically designed to maximize noise reduction.

  • Money-Saving Benefits

New windows can lower your monthly energy bills. They can provide better insulation so that your heating and cooling systems do not have to work as hard. They can also block sunlight during the warmer seasons to keep indoor temperatures down.

Installing new windows is a great investment for your home. They can make your rooms more inviting and help lower household expenses and increase your property value. Stop by or contact John’s Lumber in Shelby Township or Clinton Township today to learn more about new window features, installation, pricing and financing.

How to Select New Windows

March 5, 2019

John's Lumber How to Select New Windows

Selecting new or replacement windows for your home is an important investment and can be overwhelming. Advancements in window design have made them more insulative than ever before. John’s Lumber has the window options that will meet your requirements at a sound price. Let’s explore the different window styles and options available today.

Single Family Home Styles

There are many styles of windows which may have been installed in the original construction of your home. These can include awning, bay, casement, gliding, picture, single and double hung, and specialty windows. Standard double-hung windows are designed to function identically to your pre-existing windows. If you have a particular design in mind you can have windows custom built, simply contact our team to get started.

Specialty windows are necessary for uncommon openings which are typically placed for architectural significance.

Materials

Choosing the right material is an important part of the window buying process. Depending on your home’s architecture and location, certain materials are likely to be a better fit than others. Our manufacturers currently produce wood, vinyl, composite, aluminum, and fiberglass windows. For extreme applications, composite and fiberglass windows are excellent at keeping the elements out while resisting wear and tear.

Whether you live on the water or within a suburban development, exposure to the Michigan elements should be the first consideration in this process.

We carry four excellent window manufacturers at John’s Lumber to choose from;  Andersen, Jeld-Wen, PlyGem, and Bowman-Kemp.

Our team can find the exact window for your home’s specifications with ease. Please give one of our John’s Lumber team members a call or stop into either of our locations in Clinton Township or Shelby Township.
