Signs it’s Time to Replace Your Windows and Doors

4/4/2020

7 Comments

 
​Here in the central highlands of Arizona, we homeowners have unique requirements for our windows and doors. We’re not as hot as the Phoenix valley, yet the sun’s high UV intensity still wreaks havoc on our homes. We don’t get as much snow and cold as the highest elevations, but it gets cold. These massive temperature swings will cause window and door seals to expand and contract – which causes problems over time. So, how do you know when it’s time to replace your windows or doors? We put together a guide to help you determine if replacing your windows and doors should be at the top of your remodeling project list.

Signs it’s Time to Replace Your Windows and Doors

  • Difficult opening, closing or locking the window or door.
  • Drafts can be felt coming in, even when your windows or doors are closed.  
  • There is condensation or fogging between the layers of glass.  
  • The frames are soft, chipped, or water-damaged on or around the window or doors.  
  • The style is outdated and doesn’t blend well with the rest of your home.  
  • Cleaning has become a major hassle.  
  • Replacement parts are hard to find or have been discontinued.  
  • You hear a lot of outside noise when inside your home.
  • You want to reduce your high energy bill.  
 
Choosing the right windows and doors for your next remodel project is an important process, and can be difficult. As homeowners ourselves, we understand how overwhelming and confusing the process can be. This is why we created a simple process that makes selecting your new windows & doors as easy as possible.

7 Simple Steps to Arizona Window and Door Shopping


  1. Gather inspiration. If you haven't already done this step, start here. 
  2. Decide what matters. Determine which features matter most to you such as energy-efficiency ratings, best window frame material, and safety features, so you can narrow down your selection. 
  3. Do your research. Visit showrooms or home improvement stores to experience the look, feel, and different features of window and door styles up close. 
  4.  Set a budget. Now that you’ve narrowed down your selection, you can set a realistic budget.  
  5. Work with an expert. Whether you DIY the project or contract it out, it helps to talk with an expert to understand the process better. We do in-home consults here at Triple E where we’ll take measurements, discuss all available options, and answer any questions you have to ensure that you’ll get the right products for you. No more, and no less. 
  6. Installation day. Triple E installation day is a breeze. Our no-mess, no-guess, hassle-free install means our crew will leave their work area cleaner than they found it. They’ll also haul away your old windows and doors for your convenience.   
  7. Enjoy the view. Once our installers are gone, it's time to relax and appreciate the long-awaited benefits of your new windows.

Replacing your windows and doors doesn’t have to be a nerve-wracking, confusing process. Call us today at 928.778.3056 or fill out our contact form. You’ll be amazed at how stress-free replacing your windows and doors can be!

I loved that you mentioned having difficulties when opening a door will be a sign that you need to replace it. My husband and I are thinking about how to fix a door in our house that looks damaged, and we are looking for advice. I will let him know about your recommendations to choose the right professional to help us with that door.

Great tip about installation days are a breeze. I need to get a contractor to replace the living room window. My window was broken by my kid playing baseball in the house.

It's good to know that feeling drafts is a bad sign. I have been feeling a draft coming in through my windows. I'll have to look into getting new ones installed as soon as possible.

I found it helpful when you mentioned that it is a good idea to replace the windows in your home if you can feel a draft coming through them. The kitchen in my home has been feeling much colder lately, and I think that there is a leak coming from one of the windows. It might be a good idea for me to replace all of the windows in the kitchen at the same time so that I won't have to worry about the others breaking.
