6 Signs It May Be Time to Repair Your Windows

Summer is just over the horizon, and things are blooming. When you’re enjoying time around your house, windows add a lot to make your house feel homey: letting in natural light, a fresh breeze, and giving a wonderful view. However, if you’ve left your windows to their own devices for a while, it may be time to do some check-ups. Many people think that window wear and tear means they need entire window replacements, and so they put off getting them fixed because of that. But window replacement can be costly, and our professionals at Window Makeover can repair window issues without replacing them, keeping their original beauty while improving their function, saving you money in the process. 

 

 

 

The most visible sign of windows needing repair is moisture damage. If you check your windows during a rainy day and notice water leaking or other water damage, or if you start to notice recurring mold in and around your windows, you want that fixed sooner rather than later. Water damage can cause wood rot or metal rusting that will become more of an issue as time goes on, and no one wants water damage in their home.

 

 

If you tend to avoid the couch that’s next to your window because you know the temperature won’t be as comfortable, your windows might need better insulation. Changes in temperature caused by windows can cost 25-30% of your energy use, so higher-performing windows are incredibly important. As temperatures warm, you do not want the humidity of Georgia summers to make you uncomfortable and cost you money.

 

 

Now that spring has bloomed, you want to be able to see it as the color comes back! Condensation on or between your window panes can make it hard to see the beautiful views, and it’s a sure sign that you need window repairs. 

 

 

When you’re fighting a battle against your own window to open or close, that may be a sign window repair is necessary. The window frame is likely warped, and pinching your fingers in the window as you try to force it closed is not the ideal experience. Not only that, but a hard-to-open window could be a safety hazard.

 

 

Bugs will find their way into any space they can, and if there is any crack or space around or in your windows, they will find it. A well-sealed window could be your key to keeping your home infestation-free.

 

 

No one wants to have ugly windows that detract from their home’s beauty. Even beyond that, the underlying issues like peeling paint or rotting can lead to other issues, like water damage. Beyond that, a revitalized and repaired window can make your whole house look elevated.
