Is it time?
When to replace your windows.
Nine signs the window is done. And two times when it is not.
The nine signs
What a failing window looks like.
If you have three of these, call.
- Fog or haze between the panes. The seal failed and the gas is gone. The glass unit is dead and no cleaning fixes it.
- Drafts you can feel. Hold a hand near the edge on a windy day. Moving air means failed weatherstrip or a frame that no longer seals.
- Sashes that stick, drop, or will not stay up. Broken balances, swollen wood, racked frames.
- Soft or rotten sills. Push on the sill. If it gives, water has been getting in for years.
- Condensation on the inside glass every cold morning. Cold glass and a cold spacer. New glass stays warmer.
- Single pane. One sheet of glass between you and January.
- Painted shut. If you cannot open it, it is not doing its job, and it is not an exit in an emergency.
- Outside noise. Traffic, trains, planes. Old glass and loose sashes let it through. What helps.
- Storm damage. Cracked glass, bent frames, hail-pitted aluminum.
When not to replace
Two honest answers.
We would rather tell you than sell you.
One fogged unit in a sound, newer window. Sometimes the glass alone can be swapped. If your window is a current model and the frame is solid, ask the manufacturer first.
A sticky sash on an otherwise good window. A balance or a latch can be a small repair. We will tell you if that is all it is.
What happens next
Call, measure, one number.
The visit costs nothing.
Call or text (601) 966-0319 or send the quote form. We set a time, measure every opening you want done, look at the sills and the frames, and leave one written number. Which openings need full-frame, which can be pocket, and which can wait. Here is the whole process.
Fair questions
Questions people ask.
Do not see yours? Call or text (601) 966-0319 and ask.
Can fogged glass be fixed without replacing the window?
Sometimes the glass unit alone can be swapped if the frame is sound and the unit is still made. On older vinyl and aluminum it usually is not, and the frame is tired too.
Should I replace all my windows at once?
Only if they are all failing. We quote each opening on what it needs and tell you which ones can wait.
How long do vinyl replacement windows last?
Decades, when the install is right. The install is what fails first on a bad job, which is why we warranty our workmanship.
What time of year is best to replace windows?
Any. Our crew swaps one opening at a time, so the house is never open for long. Winter and summer installs are normal.
Think it is time?
We come out, look at every window, and tell you which ones are done. No cost.
