For the past six months we’ve sure spent a lot of time looking at our surroundings. Our homes have become a refuge from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re re-envisioning our living spaces to accommodate work and school from home. More often than ever, we’re cleaning, disinfecting and rearranging furniture where ever we can, just to make staying home a safe and pleasant place to spend time.
During the pandemic, we’re working from home or taking classes. It’s become a busy time for home improvement, including window replacement. | Photo by Annie Spratt of Unsplash.
And while clutter might be a constant battle, spending so much time at home has led so many to consider serious upgrades to their homes. Before making major cosmetic changes to a house, though, families are looking at ways they can increase their comfort and home’s overall value. Top priorities according to contractors and Michigan realtors, should be making sure that all electrical, heating, air conditioning, plumbing and a home’s roof are working as they should be.
Frank Locricchio, broker and owner of Realty Executive Home Towne, understands how upgrades like these can impact a home’s value. His company closes on over 1,100 homes per year in metro Detroit and manages more than $200 million in real estate sales each year.
“We are seeing more and more people make investments in their home - and windows are a ‘top five’ in my experience to add value,” he says.
And that’s where Wallside Windows comes in. To start, Wallside’s high-quality vinyl replacement windows are a sure way to lower your electric bills during the summer and keep heat inside during the winter.
