The year 2020 was a challenging one for most of us, with many adjusting to more life at home with kids and work. Despite problems getting windows from manufacturers who were under coronavirus restrictions or shut down completely, demand for replacement windows grew.

That increased demand has carried through 2021 to date, with most manufacturers now at full capacity.

Why the continued increase? Obviously the pandemic had many people spending much more time at home during the day. The home shifted from being a home to additionally being a school and workplace. For many people, working from home may continue after restrictions are completed.

Money that was normally spent going out to dinner or traveling got invested into our homes. Energy-efficient windows have been part of that investment as they help to keep your home cooler, quieter and safer. They also are in the top five each year in terms of return on investment.

In other words, if replacing the windows in your home cost $20,000 with our sale pricing, the return on investment or added value to your home could be $25,000 or more. And your home, unlike a car or vacation, is an appreciating asset, meaning it typically goes up in value every year.

So, from a financial view point alone, it is a solid investment. Check out the prices that homes are going for in 2021 and how demand is outpacing inventory.

So, why the continued growth as the pandemic winds down?

Many economists pre dict upcoming inflation. We have seen this already with building products in general. People are purchasing new homes or refinancing existing ones to take advantage of low interest rates. Many advisers tell customers to put money into things like real estate as cash sitting in the bank is going to be worth less, despite any interest one might get.

That all amounts to a boom in construction in general and in home improvement projects.
