Window Replacement Strategies

Many times, clients ask us if they need to replace all their windows at once. The short answer is no.

This is where many questions are prompted regarding the functionality of their current windows. It is important to determine which windows need to be replaced first, and that’s where our Window & Door product specialists come into play.

If it’s the home’s original windows, they are all typically on the same lifespan. Common defects you will start to see could consist of interior, or between the glass, condensation, drafts, water leaks, or warping. Also, feeling the heat escape in the winters and air conditioning escape in the summertime. This most likely means it is time for all windows to be replaced. However, some homeowners may only have a handful of windows that are on their way out and have some may have a few years of life left. If not all your windows are ready to be replaced, your windows can be replaced in phases. Our window replacement experts will help you decide which windows come first.

Another reason homeowners may complete their window replacements in phases is due to cost, which can sometimes be intimidating. If budgeting for windows all at once cannot be done, project phases are recommended. This could include as many phases as needed, but typically we see homeowners completing their entire home in three to five phases over the span of several years. There are several options to phases, one being, to replace one side of the house at a time for a cohesive look. Another common way is to replace certain rooms. And of course, replacing the existing windows based on their current state is also applicable.
