Is it Time to Replace Your Windows or Doors?

Many people hold off on replacing their windows or doors because of the expense, but what they don’t realize is that this does little to stretch the dollar further. Old windows leak out more air due to worn-out seals and weatherstripping. Not only can this affect the comfort of your home, but also it can cause your HVAC system to work harder. In turn, this leads to higher energy bills and faster wear and tear on your heating and cooling systems. Not to mention, windows or doors that need to be replaced can compromise your indoor comfort and security.

Here are some telltale signs that it’s time to replace your windows or doors:

  • Drafts and leaks
  • Difficulty opening or closing
  • Condensation between glass panes
  • Visible damage or decay
  • Increased noise levels indoors
  • Higher energy bills
  • Faded furniture or flooring
  • Old or outdated styles
  • Poor security

If you plan on replacing your roof or siding, or you are tackling another home improvement project, now is the best time to update your windows or doors. These improvements will complement the renovation and improve the overall look and feel of your Minnesota home.

What to Expect From the Window Installation Process in the Twin Cities

Replacing your windows or doors is not a do-it-yourself (DIY) job—though we admire your tenacity! This work requires specialized knowledge and tools to ensure that all products are installed correctly. Not only can a DIY job lead to a misaligned window or door, but also it can damage wooden frames or drywall that will then require professional support. Plus, when you have your windows or doors installed by a skilled technician, you can rest easy knowing that all warranties will remain intact.

Here at Crown Exteriors, we follow a tried-and-true process that leads to exemplary results each and every time. Here are the steps:

Free Inspection

Start by requesting your free inspection by phone or by filling out our online contact form. Our team of design specialists will evaluate your doors and windows, take accurate measurements, and help you select the proper replacements. We’ll make sure that we understand exactly what you are looking for and hoping to achieve.

For instance, do you want low-emissivity coatings to block out UV rays and infrared light? Do you prefer double- or triple-pane glass for improved efficiency? Or are you looking to decrease outside noise and activity, especially in your bedrooms? Be as picky and specific as you want—we will find windows that match your exact needs!

Prep Work

Once you have chosen your windows, we’ll place the order and instruct you on how to prepare the home. Fortunately, there isn’t much work on your part, but we usually recommend removing window treatments, clearing clutter from around windows or doors, and creating a plan for kids and pets. There will be some dust and noise, so if you work from home, you’ll want to plan accordingly.
