If your home could talk, no doubt it could tell a good many powerful stories filled with nostalgia and joy. What may also happen, however, is the unfortunate truth about repairs which may necessary in the home. Window repair is one of the most overlooked things in a home.
Yes; one of the most overlooked yet important elements of the home may need a touch of repair or replacement. Here are a few good things to consider if your windows need replacement or repair.
1. Broken – This should be painfully obvious. It can be possible to replace a pane instead of the entire window, but this is rare. It is often easier to replace the whole window instead of trying to match a single pane.
2. Cheaper utilities – Windows let warm air in during the winter, but drafts and the like coming through a window can reduce your efficiency and raise costs up to 25 percent. This is a significant amount on your utility bill. A small investment in fresh windows can go a long way.
3. Makeover – After so many years of living in the same home, chances are it is time to do some remodeling and changes. Replacing windows is a great start. The technology in the window has increased significantly from the time a home was built until now. Even a home as few as a decade old can benefit from window replacement. Options abound with windows, so choosing one can be a challenge but an entertaining one.
4. A major storm passed – Here in Texas we can get tornadoes and serious rain. It may not appear on the surface, but there is a chance your windows took some damage. Best have a professional come and check before you assume everything is okay and safe.
5. Older home renovation – We talked makeovers in #3, but in the case of a serious home renovation, replacing windows is almost necessary. Keeping a historically accurate window theme is not an issue. Finding the right ones to match your home could be as simple as opening a web browser to a search engine. Regardless, all four of the rules above count with a serious renovation.
