I've been reading various sites and have come across many that claim window replacement increases the value of a home. One of the sites even said that replacing your windows could increase the value of your home by 20%. That's adding $40,000 to a $200,000 house. What?

After attending my first home show, I realized that remodeling projects are much more detailed and time consuming. Gravina's Window Center recently had a booth at the Colorado Garden and Home Show. We were one of hundreds of vendors who participated in the show. That's a TON of home improvement companies, all with a wide range of products, all competing for your business.
