Knowing When to Get a Full Window Replacement

You might be considering a window replacement for several reasons, such as a desire for increased energy-efficiency and indoor comfort. But if you’re not sure if you’ll need a full replacement soon, you can always check your windows for signs of trouble such as rot, warping, condensation between the panes or difficulty opening and closing them. Just make sure you get them from reputable window and roof repair contractors. Lifestyle Home Improvement Roofing and Construction shares more insight here. 

The Typical Lifespan of Your Home’s Windows

The average lifespan of a residential window is between 15 and 30 years, even if high-quality models were professionally installed in your home. But with proper care and maintenance, your windows can last well over 20 years before they show noticeable signs of deterioration. Once they reach this point, however, a replacement is usually recommended.

Telltale Signs

Even if your windows are only a few years old, professional window and roofing contractors recommend that you look out for other signs since deterioration happens differently in every climate. Consider a replacement if you’re already experiencing the following: 

  • Storm damage – If your home has sustained damage from a recent storm, then you’ll need to replace your affected windows.
  • Condensation – This can happen to double-pane windows when the seal has broken and moisture has gotten between the panes. If this is the case with your windows, then they’re now no more efficient than a single-pane window. Make sure you have them replaced if this happens.
  • Difficulty operating – Over the years, it can sometimes happen that double-hung windows become difficult to open and close.
