As with any vehicle or home appliance, replacing your home’s windows is a must at some point. Yes, this can feel like a daunting task (even though it doesn’t have to be!). And, knowing when to replace is often difficult. Here at The Screen Shop, we love to help people in Mountain View, CA window replacement, figure out when and if their windows need replacing—because who wants to pay for something unnecessarily?
The benefits you gain from replacing your home windows make a huge difference in your home. A difference you’ll love. Replacing windows will boost your home’s attractiveness, comfort, safety, and energy usage all year round.
First, a few questions…
Knowing when to replace is the first hurdle. So, let’s tackle some questions to determine if your current windows need to be switched out:
- Are your home’s windows older than 15 years? If so, now is a good time to check them for operability. Our team can help you assess how well they are keeping the elements out, how well they are insulating your home, and if they are still in good condition (not rotting or warped).
- Do you struggle to open or close them? This is a sure sign something isn’t working properly and may be broken or warped. Procrastinating on replacement, in this case, is simply not safe; you need to be able to open/close your windows easily. Further, a “sticky” window is the kind of window that will slam down on unsuspecting fingers…
- Do you feel a draft or see condensation? Properly working windows will not compromise your indoor temperatures or gather moisture.
If you can relate to one or more of the above indicators, here are the benefits you will get from replacing them through The Screen Shop:
- New windows are beautiful
This may not sound like a benefit, but it is. Beautiful windows increase the value of the home—a lot. So, while you enjoy the fresh look of your new replacement windows, you also get to enjoy increased equity and curb appeal. - Keep the weather outside
The fluctuating temperatures outside should not affect you indoors, nor should they appear. Quality windows (like ours) will get rid of drafts and condensation and will help to reduce your home air/heat bills. - Added safety
Lock technology and tempered glass is an added protection for everyone in your home. Further, replacing windows that aren’t operating properly will nix the potential for slammed fingers or window gaps! - Better energy efficiency
This is one of the most exciting benefits of high-quality windows from The Screen Shop! Many older homes were built with single-pane windows. Remember when we said you want to get rid of drafts and condensation? Well, with heating and cooling costs on the rise, it has become necessary to replace aging, drafty windows—not only to save on energy costs but also to be kinder to the environment!
We hope you will give the team here at The Screen Shop the opportunity to help you with your replacement window project if needed. Give us a call or come visit our showroom!
