So I have WOOD double hung windows now. They are not the greatest for usabilty since they don’t tilt for cleaning and there is a storm window you have to open as well.

If I replace them with a higher end white vinyl replacement window, will people looking to buy my house look at it as an upgrade?

Not sure if they will they think, “oh look, cheap white Vinyl Windows doesn’t go with the house” or “oh look, bright clean looking windows must be brand new.”

Putting in a combarable wood window is not even financially possible.
I should have added that my home was built in 1995…so I don’t know if they already think the existing windows are fine. 100% virgin vinyl won’t yellow.
I’m looking at upper end vinyl windows which are half the cost of a comp. wood window. You have to spend $1000-$1200 per window for wood windows. I guess if you have a half million dollar home it makes sense.

I did more research on the yellowing, and that is an old scare tatic that came up 15 years ago for small start-up vinyl window companies that are no longer in business. Companies like Gorell and Soft-Lite do not have those issues….there’d be lawsuits all over the place. If you see yellow on a vinyl window its called nicotine.

I should have added that my storms are wood and the windows have a poor sill design so alot of the storms have rotted or molded up. I’ve tried to strip them and repaint but the mold comes back due to the moisture…no weep holes!
