This depends largely on the age of your windows and the severity of any problems you’re experiencing. If you have a serious issue, you likely have no choice but to replace your windows as soon as you can. That said, here are the average lifespans for different replacement windows in Kansas City:
Keep in mind, these are estimates ONLY. As mentioned, wood windows can last you 30 years—but they need constant maintenance to reach that lifespan. Vinyl and fiberglass windows can both last between 20 to 40 years, but fiberglass’ superior strength means it’s more likely to reach the 40-year end of the age spectrum.
Yes, replacing windows does increase your home’s value—not just monetarily, but in terms of overall appeal to potential buyers.
According to Consumer Reports, homebuyers have named “energy efficiency” as the second biggest attribute that can influence a purchase (first place is a safe community). In other words, replacing your windows is one of the most important things you can do to impress buyers.
The natural follow-up question that homeowners have is “How much will replacing my windows increase my home’s value?”
According to Remodeler.com, the national average for cost recouped from a vinyl window replacement project in 2018 project was 74.3%. This means if you invest $12,000 in replacement windows, you can expect an immediate increase in your home’s value by over $8,900. This is a higher ROI than kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and even wood window replacement.
How much it costs for new windows in the Kansas City area hinges on a variety of factors—decorative features, energy upgrades, the material, and so on. But if you want a high-quality project, replacement window cost isn’t as important as replacement window value.
For example…
Let’s say you get three quotes on replacement windows, and one of them is substantially cheaper than the others—half the cost or less. Your gut reaction may be to gravitate to this cheap quote—after all, it seems like you’ll save a lot of money.
But here’s the problem: window replacement is a get-what-you-pay-for project. And if you choose the lowball price, you are almost certainly going to get low quality performance, efficiency, and installation. For proof, just read a few of the many, many negative online customer reviews from people who went with the cheapest quote… only to have their windows break down shortly after installation.
Yes, going with the cheapest window quote can save you money on the front end. But you’ll actually wind up paying MORE in the long run.
There are many types and styles of replacement windows. How to choose the best replacement windows for your home depends on your needs, tastes, and other factors.

The difference between DIY window repair vs. replacement comes down to the severity of the problem and whether your windows are under warranty. Naturally, you want to reach out to the company that installed your windows if you believe you have a warranty issue.
But here is what we’ve found in our 40+ years in business: Window replacement is typically the better option for Kansas City homeowners. Why? Many homeowners experience an issue with their windows either because A) their windows are old or B) their windows are low quality. Let’s first address point A. Old windows usually have multiple issues—leaks, performance problems, worn-down aesthetics, and so on. In this case, window repair would not only be hugely expensive… it may not even be possible. In this case, investing in replacement windows is the much wiser choice.
As for point B: If your windows are relatively new yet giving you problems, it likely means they are cheap “builder-grade” windows. Getting these low-quality windows repaired is like putting a spare tire on your car—it’s a quick fix, but it’s definitely not a permanent solution. After a short period of time, problems will again begin to develop. It’s the same with builder-grade windows—a repair job might solve an immediate problem—but it’s only a matter of time (a short amount of time!) before more issues creep up.
You can expect excellent window replacement by a Kansas City company with a proven track record that spans over four decades.

Here are some of the most common reasons homeowners decide to replace their siding:
If you’re experiencing one or more of these issues, new siding may be a wise investment. In this case, it’s smart to have a reputable contractor assess your siding and help you find the right solution. Learn how to find a Kansas City siding contractor you can trust.
Yes, siding replacement can increase the value of your home—and in a big way. The 2018 Cost Vs. Value report from Remodeling.com shows homeowners who replace their siding recoup 76.7% of the cost on average. In terms of ROI, that’s better than bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, and roof replacement.
The ROI of new siding varies a bit depending on the material of the siding. Fiber cement siding provides the highest return on investment, since it’s an attractive material that’s extremely durable. Wood siding typically produces a lower ROI because of its higher costs and shorter average lifespan if it’s not properly maintained.
Yes. Stucco/stone is actually a very popular siding combination in Kansas City. They produce a beautiful dynamic that can create unique, head-turning curb appeal especially on the front facade of your home.
Explore our Stucco Siding and Stone Siding galleries to see how these different types of siding perfectly complement each other.
It really depends on your needs, tastes, and budget. Different types of siding have different price points, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements.
Some Kansas City homeowners prefer vinyl siding because it’s attractive, low maintenance, and typically costs less than other siding materials. Other homeowners prefer the extra stability and prestige of fiber cement siding, and don’t mind investing a little extra up front to get it.
Bottom line: There is no “best type of siding” or “one size fits all” solution that is right for every home. If that’s not the concrete answer you’re looking for, we would be honored to assess your situation personally and provide you with our expert recommendation. An in-person consultation is the hands-down best way to ensure you get exactly what you want.
Siding replacement prices in Kansas City depend on multiple factors, such as the material and the company you hire for installation. For example, you’re going to invest more up front on fiber cement siding than on vinyl siding. This is because fiber cement siding (like James Hardie’s Cement Board) is thicker, more stable, and requires special installation.
That said, there is a sort of “unwritten rule” when it comes to buying siding: Do NOT go with the contractor who gives you a lowball quote.
A cheap quote could mean the siding is second-rate, the contractor’s work is substandard, or both. While going with the cheapest quote may save money up front, you’ll end up spending MORE overall in repairs and premature replacement. We’ve lost count of the number of homeowners who have called us to replace their siding after they went with a contractor who gave them a lowball quote.
The best way to know if you’re getting a fair price is to have a trustworthy company provide you with an estimate. It can be hard for homeowners to judge contractors accurately, so read our Homeowner’s Guide To Choosing The Best Exterior Contractor to learn more about what to look for when considering a siding company.
