Windows of Opportunity

For most people, their home is their largest investment. Whether you’re shopping for a new house or renovating your current home, it’s essential to make thoughtful decisions that improve the quality of life and the value of your home. 

One investment that is often overlooked but delivers massive returns is upgrading windows and doors. The best way to maximize your investment is with a local expert that offers custom solutions unique to your home. With more than 50 years of experience, the professionals at Vista Windows and Doors offer white glove treatment and deliver performance, responsiveness, and transparency at every stage of the process. 

Windows and doors serve as functional components of your home, but their impact goes far beyond protection and insulation—they are integral to your property's style, energy efficiency, and resale value. Whether you’re looking to match the modern charm of a sleek, contemporary design or bring a touch of rustic, classic elegance, the right doors and windows can bring an entire home together.

Jim Anderson is the managing partner at Vista. His team works hard to stay current on trends that help homeowners grow the return on their investment. “Thin, dark frames continue to be the driving style as homeowners want to focus more on the view than the window itself. But we are also seeing a return to the classic wood-clad window,” he says. “Staying on style is important in the same way that keeping a clean home matters. It shows care and effort that immediately makes the home more appealing to every audience, even if it isn’t someone else’s specific taste.”

New windows and doors don’t just add curb appeal; they enhance the overall performance and longevity of your home. Homeowners often anticipate cosmetic upgrades like fresh paint or new carpets when they buy a new home but can overlook worn-out windows and doors. Ignoring these performance features can cost you.

Up to 30 percent of your home’s energy can be lost through inefficient windows and doors. Leaky windows can allow precious heat to escape during the winter and let warm air in during the summer, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work overtime. By investing in new, energy-efficient windows and doors, you can significantly reduce your home’s energy consumption, keeping your spaces comfortable year-round while saving money on utility bills.

The thought of upgrading windows and doors can be intimidating, but with the help of experts at Vista, homeowners find the process simple. Vista offers concierge services, visiting your home to see what makes it unique before walking through the entire process and offering suggestions that align with your vision and budget. 

Vista also offers clients access to see and feel products at its local showroom. This hands-on approach simplifies the decision-making process and empowers homeowners to make the best choices for their home.

New windows and doors are more than just a cosmetic upgrade; they’re an investment in your home’s efficiency, comfort, and value. Whether you’re looking to enhance your home’s curb appeal, reduce energy costs, or increase resale potential, this upgrade offers long-term benefits that are hard to overlook.
