Are Your Windows Ugly?

“Ugly” is a matter of taste, but let’s address three obvious causes:

Does the exterior color of the windows match the rest of the home? If not, a simple repaint can solve the problem. If the windows are obscured on the home exterior by unattractive storm window frames, consider replacement windows with dual-pane Low-E glass instead.

Does the window style not match the home? Older homes usually feature double-hung windows. Gliders and casement windows offer a more contemporary approach. Consult an expert to see if you need a touch of architectural authenticity in your home.

Does the window or patio door material seem artificial or cheap? If you don’t like the look of thick vinyl frames, replace them with natural wood that can be painted or stained to match your interior.
