Home » Curb Appeal Investments to Make This Year

When you’ve decided to remodel, it can be tough to decide whether to concentrate on the interior or exterior of your home. Which gives the best value? However, there is one area where improvements can help you love your home from the inside out, and increase curb appeal at the same time. New custom windows are a fantastic choice to boost your home’s value and allow you to enjoy it even more. 

Window Styles

When creating a new custom window design, consider bay or bow windows. They add visual interest both inside and outside your home, expand the space within your room, and add character. Rusco offers options to customize a bow or bay window with the Pella Architect and Lifestyle Series

If you’re interested in increasing airflow but not expanding the size or shape of the room, casement windows are a great choice. We can also help you choose from double-hung windows, sliding windows, and awning windows, depending on your needs and personal style. One of our most unique styles is the garden window, a stand-out way to bring the outside into your indoor space. Using trusted brands like Pella, Marvin, and Polaris, we will bring new life to your home. 

Custom Window Materials

From wood to fiberglass to vinyl, we offer a variety of materials. How to choose? Our wood windows feature many different stains, colors, and finishes, and wood is a traditional and beautiful way to coordinate your windows with existing decor while adding insulation. 

Our fiberglass windows are fabricated from Ultrex, a highly durable material that will outlast other composite materials, and are fantastic for energy efficiency. Our vinyl windows are also a great option, particularly since they are extremely low maintenance, and require almost no upkeep. We can help you decide which combination of style and material is right for you.

When you’re ready to create a plan for your custom windows, give us a call! We can help you strategize, choose styles, materials, and colors, and install windows that will revitalize the inside and outside of your home.
