When selecting replacement windows for your home, keep in mind that they should complement both the interior and exterior look of your home. Do not underestimate the value that curb appeal can add to your home. If you ever plan on selling, many prospective buyers will decide whether or not to view your house based on their first impression of the exterior. Use the guide below to select a color to match your home’s siding and architectural style:
Colored Siding
If your home features colored vinyl siding, you should choose a contrasting color for your home’s exterior window trim. Matching the siding too well will create a bland, flat look. Use classic white to complement darker or bolder colors. Reversing the color scheme and highlighting a light siding color with dark windows can create a dramatic look, too.
Exposed Brick
Though brick has a reddish-brown hue, its color is relatively neutral. Avoid using dark reds and browns, because they are too similar in color to the bricks. Black will not match either. Houses that feature unpainted brick exteriors will look good with bright white windows, or lighter shades of blue or green.
Stucco
Since you can paint stucco any color, you may wish to choose neutral window frames in white, black, or a light brown that will work well with multiple color schemes. If you choose bright colors such as green or red, keep in mind that you should only paint your house complementary or contrasting colors. Stucco allows you to use much bolder exterior color schemes if you wish, including green windows to complement a purple or orange house, or blue windows on a yellow exterior.
No matter what type of color scheme you want to use on your home, you can find a beautifully complementary set of vinyl replacement windows from Wallside Windows of Michigan.

Though burglars in movies and TV shows use a variety of sophisticated methods to gain access to high-security areas, it’s unlikely that your home will be the target of such sophisticated criminals. An intruder seeking entry into your home would most likely enter through a window, either by breaking through the glass or finding a sash that is unlocked. If the burglar is successful, you will have to replace more than just your window glass. Learn the basics of securing your home’s windows below:
Lock All Windows
Smart, determined criminals will check every window in your home to see if it is locked before they resort to noisily breaking a windowpane. This is because they would prefer to slip in without alerting your neighbors. Before you leave the house, make sure all windows are locked, including the upper sashes of double-hung windows and windows on upper stories.
Move Objects that Tempt Burglars
If a thief can look through the living room window and see valuable items inside a potential victim’s home, such as stereos, flatscreen TVs, or expensive computers, then the home becomes an easy target. If you can’t avoid placing these items near the windows, then close your blinds or drapes while you are away so intruders can’t see in.
Install Security Equipment
If you can’t afford a full-home security system, you can at least purchase inexpensive alarms that go off if anyone attempts to force your windows open. You can also obtain window stickers that announce your home is protected by a security system, which is enough to deter many small-time criminals even if your home isn’t protected. To keep intruders from slipping in through vulnerable points, such as basement windows, consider installing metal bars.
