Stimulus Money? Use It to Beautify Your Home!

Did you recently get your government stimulus money? Investing it in your home is a great idea! Whether it’s new siding, new windows, or new exterior doors, our team at Lifetime Windows & Doors will help get your home upgraded and updated! Here are some reasons why you should consider investing in some home renovations this spring.

#1: Curb appeal.
New siding, roofing, doors, and windows works wonders for your home’s curb appeal. Not to mention, these updates will make it look like new! If your siding is old or has cracked areas or other spots of damage or dry rot, it is important to get it replaced immediately. If you don’t, this can cause other interior damage that is costly to repair. If your windows and doors are old and leaking air in and out, there’s a good chance your utility bills will increase. Not to mention, it is not good for the environment.

#2: Increased value.
Homes that have been renovated will instantly go up in value! New windows, doors, siding, and roofs will make your home more resistant to the elements and you will see greater return on investment when it comes time to sell your home. That means the money you spend now is well worth it in the long run. In the meantime, you’ll enjoy being home even more because of the beauty and comfort that you have knowing things are new and energy efficient.

Not sure what your options are? Let our experienced team at Lifetime Windows & Doors help you decide. We carry a variety of quality window and door products from Milgard, Simonton, ThermaTru, Simpson, and more! Need new siding? Fiber cement siding is a durable way to go! How’s your roof?

Home Upgrades for 2020

Your home is a place where you live a large chunk of your life, so making it a space that speaks to you and your unique personality and tastes is important. Now that we are three months into 2020, it’s a great time to start acting on that home improvement list that you might have in mind. Here are some of our top recommendations for home upgrades this year.

#1: New siding.
Your siding adds instant value and curb appeal to your home. Not to mention, it also helps keeps your home protected from the varying elements of the Pacific Northwest. We proudly install fiber cement siding which offers some of the following benefits:

  • No hot or cold weather expansion
  • Does not crack, warp, or split
  • Moisture and rot resistant
  • Long-term durability
  • Low maintenance
  • Won’t ignite or add fuel to a fire like other materials
  • Resistant to pests
  • Withstands extreme weather like wind and storms
  • Features a baked-on pre-finish that’s UV resistant and won’t fade

#2: New windows.
Your windows are your view to the outside, but if they are old, they could be costing you money. If you have single pane windows that were installed decades ago, they simply won’t be energy efficient. We have a variety of new window options from Milgard and Simonton that fit your home’s style and most importantly, your budget. New windows will allow you to reap the benefits of a quieter home, lower utility bills, and enhanced beauty.

#3: New exterior doors.
What’s your home’s overall style? Whether it’s a Craftsman-style, farmhouse, modern, or traditional, we have a variety of door options that will fit with your home. Wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass are great choices that can help keep indoor air from leaking outside, which contributes to high energy bills. Our team at Lifetime Windows and Doors can install standard doors or something custom. And we can get the job done quickly and on-time.

What’s your home improvement project this year? Our team at Lifetime Windows and Doors can help. We’ve proudly served Oregon and Washington for more than two decades and have the reputation for quality that you can count on.

Benefits of A New Front Door Installation

Has your entry door seen better days? Maybe it’s old or not insulated well.  Is it simply not performing as well as it used to? If so, a replacement door is something you should consider! Once you decide it’s time to get your new door, be sure it is professionally installed by an experienced team. This team should be committed to quality workmanship and attention to detail. Here are some of the primary benefits of professional front door installation.

#1: Style.
Your front door helps give guests a good first impression! The entry door is your home’s introduction to the rest of it! Something that is visually appealing will catch the eye of neighbors and other passersby, as well as friends and family.  If your front door is dented, scratched, or off color, this will also make an impression – but not a good one. Bolster curb appeal with a new, stylish front door!
#2: Energy efficiency.
Saving energy is important – not only for the earth, but for your checking account! A new door is energy efficient, which means you won’t need to rely as heavily on your heating and cooling system.  It will help keep cold air out and warm air in.  And during the summer, it will keep summer weather outside and cool air in! That means you will see a cost savings on your utility bill. That could translate to saving hundreds at the end of the year.
#3: Security.
A new front door will protect your home from outside elements as well as home invasion. If your old door is weak and of poor quality, this doesn’t do much in the way of protection. We offer a variety of doors in different materials ranging from wood to fiberglass and more. We also provide custom doors that are beautiful and strong! When you combine this with a solid professional door installation, you can rest knowing that your door is functioning as it was intended.

Spring is almost here and it’s a great time to spruce up your home! Our experienced team of installation professionals are ready to help get your home to look and feel how you want it. Whether it’s quality products from Therma-Tru, Buffelen, Simonton, or Codel, you’re bound to find something that you love!
