Since 2014, Phillip “Phil” Kwilose has served as general manager of Five Star Home Improvement, serving Iowa City and surrounding areas for more than 60 years. Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Phil Kwilose leads a team of sales representatives in providing a range of services to help homeowners increase their home value through additions such as roofing, siding, and new windows.
Installing new windows consistently ranks as one of the best returns on investment in home improvement. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2019 Cost vs. Value Report, vinyl window replacements for an entire home cost an average of $16,000 and improve a home’s resale value by roughly $12,300. This represents a return on investment of 73 percent.
Additionally, replacing old and drafty windows can significantly reduce energy costs. In the average US home, replacing single-pane windows with EnergyStar-rated windows can save $125 to $465 a year in heating and cooling bills while making the home much more comfortable and aesthetically appealing.
