Top 5 Reasons To Replace Your Windows:
Energy Efficient
We were raised to save energy and make every penny last. Ever been yelled at for holding the refrigerator door open for too long? You’re not cooling the house off, remember! Well, it’s the same thing with your windows. You don’t want to cool or warm the outside and I’m pretty sure you’re electric bill agrees with you. If you notice moisture building up on your windows in the summer or perhaps the excessive frost during the winter and you can’t see a thing! Then your windows are probably leaking somewhere, causing moisture to come in and go out. This isn’t a good combination and you should definitely think about replacing them. If you’re anything like most people, you hate lining your windows with plastic every fall before the cold temperatures start. For one, no matter how long you hold your hair dryer over them they will never be ‘wrinkle free’ and for two, they are just plain tacky.
Sound-Proofing
You may not want to start a band and practice in your living room because the sound proofing only works one way! You may find yourself sitting in your living room watching your favorite TV series but the next door neighbor has been mowing all morning and you can’t hear a thing, even with the windows closed! And what about Sparky? The other neighbor’s dog who barks at a blowing leaf in the street and he never shuts up. Having new, quality windows, you can guarantee a much more quiet and relaxed TV watching experience. Although it’s not completely sound proof, it cuts the noise out about 90% compared to your old windows.
Home Appeal
You’ve lived in this house for as long as you can remember and it was built in 1934. What a great year and such a beautiful vintage home, but the windows don’t match the look. Over time windows can warp and scratch or even crack, not to mention them leaking from the caulk that is no longer intact over the years. For whatever reason you have, updating your windows is always a win-win for not only you, but for your home.
Functionality
You may have some windows that are sealed shut, don’t open or creak as you open them making all the dogs in the neighborhood bark, especially Sparky, who isn’t going to stop for another hour or so. Replacing your old windows not only make your home look better, it allows for a more functioning home also. You can air out your home completely now in the beautiful spring season without any hassles. Not to mention the fact that new windows are much easier to clean and stay clean. You can Windex your old windows over and over again and they still aren’t clean! What is that smudge?! With new windows, it’s as simple as one spray and one wipe and their crystal clear again. Doesn’t that sound fantastic?

Having new windows can make the world of a difference in your homes safety. Also, if you’re afraid of robber’s, you won’t be any more once you replace your windows and have new secured locks. Another safety measure in most homes is having small children.
