It Pays to Upgrade

Improving your home’s curb appeal is a smart investment. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), window and door projects mostly pay for themselves: homeowners can expect an 81 to 88 percent return on window upgrades at closing. Increased energy efficiency provides additional monthly savings. Furthermore, JELD-WEN conducted a survey that found replacing the entry and garage doors on a typical 2,500-square-foot home was worth an additional $16,000.
