What’s the ROI for window and door replacements?

If you’re putting your house on the market, or you’re thinking about doing so in the next couple of years, you may wonder if window and door replacements are worth it before you sell.

Before putting up your home for sale, it’s wise to take inventory of its drawbacks. This will help you set a fair listing price, and you can also manage your expectations this way.
