New Home Expectations

February 24, 2020
replacement windows in Santa Barbara

When you are looking at a home that is new to you, it’s important to figure out if it suits all of your needs. You don’t want to just drive by, see what the house looks like from outside, read a few specs, and then sign the papers. You need an in-depth look at the home to make sure it’s in good shape and won’t cost you a bunch of money right after you move in. What condition is the HVAC system in? How does the roof look? Are there replacement windows in Santa Barbara, CA or are the windows old and worn? Here are a few things you need to look into in order to get what you want from your new home.

It Should Be Clean

When you tour a home, the seller should be putting their best foot forward. You should see clean, organized rooms so you can imagine your own things in the spaces without a bunch of personal pictures and statues cluttering the spaces up. If the homeowners don’t clean things up, there might be a lot of other things they haven’t done.

Sinks Should Work

If you start to get serious about a house, there’s nothing wrong with walking around, turning on sinks and flushing toilets. You want to make sure the plumbing operates well and there aren’t any strange noises when you flush or turn things on. You will have an inspection later, before you sign papers, but it’s good to know some of these details before you go too far.

Replacement Windows

You will also want to check out the windows and ask questions about them. If the windows are old and worn, you may very well be able to tell. Ask to see some recent energy bills and you may get a clue that way as well. Ask about the window’s age. IF you find that they are old and need to be replaced, you may want to find another house or, make a lower offer to accommodate the project’s cost if you are willing to take it on yourself. If the windows have already been replaced, ask for details on the glass pack, the energy savings, and other things so you know what you are buying into with the house as well.

These are a few things to check over as you look at a new home to set your expectations for that house well. If you find that you love the home, but it really does need replacement windows in Santa Barbara, CA, you could get a good deal on the house. Once you make an offer and things go through, contact the professionals at Quality Windows & Doors for help with the project. Perhaps you want the windows done before you even move in, to avoid the mess. Call us at (805) 984-5895 and we’ll get started as soon as you make the decisions that need to be made.
