Google’s Answer: “Worth It. It’s clear that the abundance of long-term benefits from the installation of impact windows are worth the investment. They are more than a seasonal product and can make life easier and safer.”
Smash City Pro’s Answer:
Upgrading a home’s windows and doors to impact products is an investment that homeowners NEVER regret.
It is a bold statement to say “never,” but since our time in business at Smash City, we have never had a customer say they regret buying impact windows. The only regret our clients have ever mentioned to us is that they wish they had upgraded to impact products sooner. And by sooner, I mean years sooner, not days or months.
The questions that hold up moving forward are, “are the windows worth the money? Are we going to get our money’s worth out of these windows?” Five years ago, when we had conversations with realtors in the Tampa and Sarasota areas, windows were never a factor. It was more specific to the homebuyer if they wanted it because they likely had impact windows on a previous home and refused to live without them because of the safety and security.
Today, despite the real estate market being very hot, one of the first things mentioned in any listing or advertisement are newly upgraded windows and doors. In 2019, we had the most active hurricane season to date. During 2020, we had the same amount of activity, and we are due to have the highest activity to date again in 2021. An uncertainty in our daily life is that we don’t have control over our safety. What is going to be protecting you and your home when someone, something, or a storm is on the other side of the door?
So, are impact windows worth it? The answer used to just be yes because of the benefits like peace of mind and sleeping better at night. That is still a factor, but now more than ever, people are paying more for better products in a home. Comparing two houses side by side, a home with upgraded windows and doors will be more desirable and move much faster.
There are many variables that go into buying a home, but the one thing I can truly guarantee is that impact products will never affect your listing negatively. There are zero downsides. You can also guarantee it will increase your home value because it is a permitted job that is done properly. When you permit an upgrade to your home, the county views that as an improvement and your assessment will go up.
Impact windows and doors will increase both emotional ROI and personal safety as well as monetary ROI.
It may be the right time for you to replace your windows and doors. But how do you know? And how do you choose the best option for your home?
Selecting the right replacement windows or doors can be challenging. Many people find themselves chasing down estimates or sifting through product catalogs when they should be enjoying the benefits of new doors and windows inside their home, such as aesthetics and functionality, noise reduction, and desired natural light.
Our purpose at Smash City is to show you the true strength of impact windows and doors. We want to show you the benefits of what impact products can be to you and your home. We see first-hand how powerful impact products are and how fragile the windows and doors in your home are now.
