When is it time for a window and door replacements?

 Aside from just feeling like giving your home’s exterior a refresh, there are additional signs and symptoms that suggest it’s time for window and door replacements. 

Doors and windows are built to withstand extreme elements over the years, not limited to rain, snow, and sun. Long-term exposure can result in warping, cracking or not being able to shut your doors or windows properly. 

Signs it’s time for a replacement include: 

  • Rust, dents or large scratches 
  • Signs of rot 
  • Flaking paint
  • Softening wood
  • Cracks along the edges
  • Worn out weather strip
  • Air and extra light coming in from around the door frame
  • Sun stains/fading/peeling 
  • Moisture stuck inside the panes
  • Air or a draft coming from the window’s edges
  • Handles not working properly
  • Frame deterioration
  • Broken or cracked panes 

All of these symptoms are examples of a door or window losing its integrity. Additionally, air coming through the frames means your doors or windows are costing you in your monthly utility bill by not being better insulated. 

There’s also the issue of home security. Older doors and windows are often less secure according to because they tend to be thinner and may not have modern locks. 

New doors and windows will not only deliver peace of mind but as noted by Modernize, it’s also a simple upgrade that will deliver a high ROI at the time of resale.
