5 Signs Your Windows Need to be Replaced

January 31, 2022

If you notice any of the following signs, rely on our team for window replacement services.

It is not always easy to determine when your windows should be replaced, but there are a few tell-tale signs including:

Hearing Outside Noises

If you can hear everything happening outside of your windows, it is likely that they were not sealed correctly or were poorly made to begin with. Replacing your windows can help decrease outside noise, which is especially helpful if you live in a busy neighborhood or on a busy street.

Damaged Window Frames

A small crack in your window frame may not seem like an urgent issue, but that crack can spread quickly. If you catch a crack on your window frame early enough, you might be able to repair it, but if the crack continues to spread, it might be time to replace the window.

Damaged Window Glass

Any size crack in the window glass is a major issue that needs to be addressed. Just like in your window frames, cracks in the glass can easily spread and could cause bigger problems for your home’s energy efficiency. You may be able to just replace the cracked pane but in some cases, it’s best to replace the entire window - especially if your windows are more than fifteen years old or are original to your home.

Drafty Windows

Drafts are one of the most noticeable signs that it is time to replace your windows. Old windows often become drafty over time, allowing the comfortable air from inside your home to escape. If you feel air rushing in from outside your home when you stand close to your windows, they should probably be replaced. Drafty windows can also contribute to increasing energy bills and you will be able to save money by upgrading your old, drafty windows to modern windows.

Condensation Gathering

If you notice condensation or frosting between your window panes, we highly recommend having your windows replaced. Moisture between the panes of glass is a telltale sign your seals have failed – and that is an issue that is not easily fixed. Once the seals fail, any insulating gas used to make the window energy efficient is now gone.

If you are a homeowner and have concerns about the roofing and exterior of your home, we kindly ask that you keep reading. At Isbell Services, we are ready and waiting to assist with the home remodeling and roof repairs your home requires, no matter the reason. Some signs that it may be time to have work done include the following: Problems With Shingles If it has been a few years since you have had your shingles installed and you are having problems with water damage or anything else, there are typically a few obvious issues . When a big storm hits the Tuscaloosa, AL area, wind can blow shingles right off your roof, loosen them or even crack them. When the shingles blow off it is an obvious sign to call a trusted roofer. If shingles have not been found in your yard, but you suspect they are damaged, we ask that you give us a call for the repairs you need! Higher Energy Costs Should your home have water damage, it may also be leaving you susceptible to higher energy bills each month. If any area of the roof is exposed it will let in cold air in the winter and warm air in the summer, taking more money out of your pocket. Damaged Gutters Similar to roofing, gutters can be damaged by high winds and rough weather. At Isbell Services, we are home remodeling experts and will diagnose any issues and replace your gutters as necessary. We suggest you have us take a look at your gutters should you suspect they are not functioning properly.
