Windows and doors are easy to take for granted—until they stop working the way they should. Drafts, leaks, or outdated styles don’t just hurt your home’s comfort, they also affect energy costs and property value.

Here are some clear signs it may be time to consider replacement:
1. Drafts and Rising Energy Bills
If you feel a chill near your windows or doors in the winter, or heat seeping in during the summer, your home is losing energy. Modern energy-efficient models help lower utility bills and keep your home comfortable year-round.
2. Condensation Between the Glass
Fog or moisture trapped between glass panes often means the seal has failed. Not only does this block your view, but it also reduces the insulation value of your windows.
3. Difficulty Opening or Closing
Windows and doors that stick, jam, or fail to lock properly are more than an annoyance—they can compromise your safety and security.
4. Outdated Style
Even if your windows and doors still “work,” faded frames, worn finishes, or outdated designs can drag down your home’s curb appeal and resale value.
5. Outside Noise Creeping In
Well-made, properly installed windows and doors reduce outdoor noise. If traffic or neighborhood sounds seem louder than before, it may be time for an upgrade.
