Each year, Remodeling Magazine publishes its Cost Vs. Value Report to update the resale value of various common home improvement projects. The site compares average costs for remodeling projects with the value those projects retain at resale in 150 U.S. markets.

We thought this was the perfect opportunity to let our customers know just how much value their window, door, and siding projects will add to their homes when it comes time to sell. You can use this to decide which project you should invest in first (considering your future plans to stay or sell) and also decide if it makes sense financially to do so. Curb appeal can help your home sell faster, so don’t forget to consider that in your decision.

NOTE: For our purposes, we took snapshots of the charts to include the costs for windows, doors, & siding only. For all 23 remodeling projects, visit their website to see the full list at 2024 Cost Vs. Value Report.

Understanding the ROI of Home Improvement Projects

Knowing the return on investment (ROI) of a home improvement project is helpful for several reasons:

Financial Planning: Understanding the potential ROI helps homeowners make informed decisions about where to allocate their renovation budget. It allows them to prioritize projects that are likely to provide the highest return, thus maximizing the value of their investment.

Budgeting: ROI information helps homeowners set realistic budgets for their home improvement projects. They can ensure they’re not overspending on renovations that won’t yield a significant return.

Resale Value: For homeowners planning to sell their property in the future, knowing the ROI of various improvements can guide them in choosing projects that will increase the resale value of their home. This is particularly important in competitive real estate markets.

Risk Management: Evaluating the ROI helps homeowners assess the risk associated with a particular renovation project. They can weigh the potential return against the initial cost and ongoing maintenance expenses to determine if the investment aligns with their financial goals.

Prioritization: With limited resources, homeowners can use ROI data to prioritize home improvement projects. They can focus on upgrades that offer the best balance of increased property value and personal enjoyment.

Negotiation: When selling a home, knowing the ROI of recent improvements can be beneficial during negotiations. It provides concrete evidence of the added value these renovations bring to the property, potentially allowing the seller to justify a higher asking price.

Overall, understanding the ROI of a home improvement project empowers homeowners to make strategic decisions that enhance the value of their property while aligning with their financial objectives.

2024 National Averages of Replacement Windows, Doors, & Siding

Since national and regional averages are different, we thought we would give you both, to give you a broad and more precise idea of the value of your project.

As you can see, Fiber-cement siding gives you an 88.4% return on your investment. This chart lists vinyl siding as well, but at All-Weather we don’t carry vinyl siding, so we aren’t reporting on it. Replacement windows yield 67.1% for vinyl and 62.0% for wood. A steel entry door will return 188.1% of your investment! So all are pretty solid investments and will retain much of their value at resale. Now let’s look at regional averages.

2024 Regional Averages of Replacement Windows, Doors, & Siding

Regional ROI can give you an even better idea of what kind of return on your investment you can expect if you are planning to sell your home soon. Here in Kansas, we focused on the West North Central Region which includes Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska & Minnesota.

When looking at regional averages, the ROI goes down just a bit. Fiber-cement siding dips from 88.4% to 76.6%. With replacement windows, vinyl is lower at 64.8% down from 67.1% and wood windows go up to 66% from 62.9%. A steel entry door dips from 188.1% to 152.5% which is still a fantastic ROI! So as you can see, windows, doors, and siding are all great investments that will pay off when it comes time to sell your home.

The 2022 Remodeling Impact Report from the National Association of REALTORS® Research Group gives us some interesting information about home improvements. Not only does this report show us the cost of certain home improvements, it also provides a Joy Score which reflects how excited homeowners were about their completed project. Exterior projects with the highest Joy Scores were for painting exterior siding, new vinyl or wood windows, and new steel or fiberglass doors. 

How Much of the Cost Will You Recover at Resale?

REALTORS® provided an estimate of the likely dollar value each project would add to the house at resale. In comparing that dollar value to the estimated cost of each project provided by NARI members, a Recovered Project Cost percentage was calculated. For exterior projects, the highest percentage cost recovered was from new roofing and new garage door both at 100%. Fiber cement siding recovered 86% of the cost spent and vinyl siding recovered 82%. When it came to windows, vinyl windows recovered 67% of the cost spent with wood windows close behind at 63%. Steel front doors ranked at 63% and fiberglass front doors 60%.

Home Improvement Brings Joy to Homeowners

The fun scores were the joy scores. Across the board, windows, doors and siding all brought a lot of joy to the homeowners who installed them. While the interior home improvement projects ranked a bit higher than the exterior projects, it’s nice to see how much joy homeowners get from both. 

Check out the full report to see all of the information on all of the projects. At All-Weather we are thrilled to know that our work brings joy to the homeowners who choose us and we’re also proud that our level of customer service adds to that joy before, during, and after the project is completed.

Experience and Knowledge in the Replacement Window Industry

We’ve been in the replacement window business for so long, many of the best-known names in replacement windows weren’t even in business when we started. Being at the forefront of an industry gave us a unique advantage over some of our competition. We were able to get to know the brands in the marketplace and compare products. When you work with a product every day, you get to know the pros and cons of the product itself, the quality level, the hardware, the energy efficiency, and the people and policies behind that product. And when you get to know the players, you can’t help but have favorites – manufacturers you rely on for quality, durability, energy efficiency, and affordability. 

We Partner with Andersen Windows

Our favorite brand is Andersen. We believe they represent the best value in the replacement window industry. We are proud to be Kansas City’s premier Andersen Circle of Excellence showroom displaying the finest Andersen windows and patio doors. Our installers are experienced Andersen installers so you know the windows will be installed to manufacturer specs and standards. That means your Andersen windows will perform as promised. As a multi-line dealer, we also display additional lines of replacement windows, entry doors, storm doors, storm windows, and exterior siding products. You can count on All-Weather to bring you the best!

National Quality with Small Town Customer Service

While our products are national, our service is personal. Because we are a smaller, local company, we can go above and beyond when it comes to customer service. We don’t have “corporate” telling us what we can and can’t do for our customers. We know what it takes to make you happy and we simply do it. It’s the best of both worlds.

For instance, when we install a door, we also take care of the painting and/or staining of that door. You may be surprised to find out that many other window and door companies in Kansas City don’t offer that service. You have to find someone else to paint your door or do it yourself. We understand that those are the kind of service details our customers have come to appreciate. It’s why they come back time after time. Windows, doors, siding – you can trust All-Weather to have all of your energy-saving home improvements under one umbrella. Just look for our yellow umbrella.
