Q: Do home appraisers look at windows?

• <div><p>Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They&rsquo;ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.</p></div>

Q: Does an aluminum fence add value to a home?

• <div><p>You'll notice that many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-adds-value-to-a-home.htm">projects that add value to your home</a> involve increasing curb appeal.

Q: Do wood floors improve home value?

• <div><p>Yes, wood floors are among the most desirable flooring options, and most homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes with high-quality wood floors installed. Wood floors are relatively easy to repair, maintain, and clean, and buyers may pay a premium for the convenience and natural beauty of wood floors, especially if they&rsquo;re new or in good condition. You can reasonably expect a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">return on investment </a>of around <b>75%</b> or more when you upgrade to wood floors, depending on the quality and type of wood.</p></div>
