When and Why to Replace Windows and Doors:
1. How old are the windows and doors in your home?
There has been much advancement in the window and door technology over the past 15-20 years. Not only will you improve the look of the home and increase the value, most will realize lower utility bills, diffuse/reduce exterior noise and improve overall energy efficiency.
2. Do you keep rolled towels by your windows and doors because of water leaks and/or drafts?
Exterior elements belong outside of your home. If your windows and doors are leaking water or producing drafts, it is time to replace. Often times, homeowners are spending money just to pump heat or air conditioning constantly because of the inefficiency of their windows and doors. New energy-efficient windows can help reduce your heating and cooling costs significantly. They also help reduce drafts, help filter harmful UV rays and stop water infiltration.
3. Do your windows and doors operate smoothly, do they get stuck in the heat and slam in the winter?
Your windows and doors should operate when you want them to, without that piece of wood holding them open or that screw driver to unstick them. It’s hard to get fresh air into your home when the windows are difficult to open and you waste a lot of energy if they don’t close properly. Today’s products are much easier and more reliable, a “breeze” to operate and easy to clean.
4. Are your windows or doors rotting, blistering, fading or peeling?
Old wood windows often require maintenance, repairs and paint touch-ups. Reality is that most of us do not preserve them because it is not only time-consuming but COSTLY! The elements, such as the sun, wind and rain can have a damaging effect on old wood windows. New ones eliminate almost all of the upkeep and are virtually maintenance-free.
