BRINGS OUT BEAUTY: When natural light fills the room, it generates a gorgeous energy that makes the room feel fresher and the colors seem brighter. A lighter and brighter room will also make it seem more comfortably spacious. Plus, rooms with bigger windows can let natural light be the main focus of the design. Grouping multiple windows together can also create the illusion of a larger space and add distinct architectural interest to your home.

REDUCES ENERGY COSTS: Simply inviting the sun into your home can drastically reduce those energy costs. By choosing bigger windows, grouping multiple windows, skylight windows, etc. you can welcome the free energy in and lower your use of electricity. As mentioned above, NEXT Door & Window offers plenty of energy efficient window options with air-tight insulation so you never have to worry about the energy you DO use slipping out of your home.

We all know that sunshine is good at increasing your vitamin D levels and boosting your immune system, but research has also shown that it can help boost your mood and productivity!

Does Your Home Need New Siding?

Siding can drastically change the look of your home and its curb appeal. However, it’s not just about the looks. Siding is key to protecting your home in all types of climates. There are telltale signs that will show you when it’s time to get new siding for your home. Some of those include:

• Faded, cracked, loose, or blistered boards
• Hail or wildlife damage, depending on where you live
• Rotting or mold
• Feeling the drafts along the wall and having high energy bills (siding can make a big difference in eliminating drafts)
• No longer able to maintain the old siding, and need a longer-term solution

Maybe it’s not one of the obvious issues above, and the color is just outdated and you want a new look. Maybe you’re planning to sell your home, and know that updating the siding can boost the resale value. Here’s what an upgraded color can do for your home:
