Wood-frame windows
Return on investment: 70%
Most homeowners don’t think much about windows unless their windows lose a seal and cloud, crack or otherwise become hard to see through.
But should you invest in upgrades like wood-frame windows, you may be spending too much for the touch.
“Wood-frame windows look beautiful, but you’re really talking about three, four, five times the cost of a midgrade metal or vinyl window,” says Pierce.
“Unless it’s a really, really high-end home that people are going to pay that kind of money for, I would choose a midgrade-quality window and then trim it out with wood trim, if that’s what you like,” he says.
