Is it time to replace your windows and doors?

Is it really time for a replacement? Some signs, such as condensation or cosmetic damage, might not need replacement at all and are actually perfectly normal. Others, like water stains and wood rot, need immediate replacement. Read through the tips below to get help deciding.

Safety

As entry points into your home, you should address broken windows or doors immediately.

Condensation

Condensation is perfectly normal. It simply indicates the presence of humidity, which means your windows or doors are doing their job and holding heat inside your home.

Climate Control

New windows and doors can get rid of drafts to make rooms more comfortable. But if the time isn’t right replacement can wait.

Water Damage

Water between glass panes, leaking, water stains, or evidence of wood rot can be signs excess moisture is accumulating where you cannot see it. This can lead to mold, mildew, warping, or structural damage.

Faulty Operation

Difficulty opening or closing, sticking sash, and pesky operational issues can sometimes be solved with a thorough cleaning or small repair. However, these can also be signs that parts are nearing the end of their lifespan.

Cosmetic Issues

Issues like chipped paint, tarnished hardware, and dirty weather stripping can be addressed on your schedule with routine care and maintenance.
