Rome homeowners have a multitude excellent reasons to change their windows. Repairing old windows, improving the design of your home etc… Some such benefits can be counted rather accurately.
Firstly, windows preserve about 72.3 percent of their initial purchase value in New England according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. This sets windows among the top 5 home improvement investments in terms of value retention.
As for energy savings, people living in Rome, can expect to see major savings on weekly expenditures for energy. If you already have dual pane windows you could save around $174.74 compared to $174 in Buffalo.

Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows can increase the sale price of your home. As mentioned before, windows preserve most of their initial value especially given their long life expectancy. At a rate of 72.3% estimated for 2020 an average total window replacement job costing $17,925 would preserve $13,018 of its initial value.
In addition, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to answer the question : What’s the premium for energy savings when selling the house? Below is what we estimated in Rome:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Rome, your home value could increase by between $873.69 and $1162 for a mid-tier or top-tier Rome home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Buffalo could add somewhere between $870 and $1157.1.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Rome homeowners could see an estimated home value increase of between $2283.42 for mid-tier homes and $3036.94 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2260 and $3005.8 in Buffalo.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Rome can add anywhere from 0.8% percent and 2.77 % percent to the asking price of your home through the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Add to this the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Rome homeowner is relatively clear.
The variation between the range for Rome and Buffalo, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.79% percent and 1.05% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, principally; the 0.05% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Utica-Rome region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Rome and Buffalo.
