Replacing old fashioned, conventional steel, aluminum, or wood windows with our energy-saving vinyl products is a substantive home improvement that will reap long-term energy savings. You can even receive tax incentives on more energy efficient models to help offset project costs. . In Colorado, the addition or upgrade from wood or aluminum windows to vinyl windows is one of the best home improvements you can make as you will recoup on average 68.5% of the project cost if you decide to sell your home.

Add a 16-by-20-foot deck using pressure-treated joists supported by 4x4 posts anchored to concrete piers. Install composite deck material in a simple linear pattern. Include a built-in bench and planter of the same decking material. Include stairs, assuming three steps to grade. Provide a complete railing using a matching system made of the same composite as the decking material. The addition or upgrade of your wood deck to composite decking will lower maintenance costs, increase the value of your home and provide you with a useable space for entertaining and family activities. In Colorado, the addition of a composite deck is one of the best home improvements you can make as you will recoup on average 62.5% of the project cost if you decide to sell your home.
