How To Tell If You Need Replacement
Windows Around Milwaukee Metro
If Your Intuition Needs A Second Opinion,
TightSeal Is Here To Help!
If you clicked to check out what’s in this article, you’re wondering if it’s time to upgrade your windows. Are replacement windows in your near future? In all likelihood, you know the answer, but you’re doing your due diligence.
That’s a good thing!
Trust us, after working with homeowners in the Milwaukee area like you for decades, we’ve seen and heard it all. If you’re interested, check out our case studies of window projects. Many have ‘Before’ images to see their shape beforehand.
That said, let’s dive into four simple, straightforward signs that our professional window replacement services are something to consider.
They Were Installed 20+ Years Ago.
If your windows predate our company, chances are HIGH that you’re missing out. There are so many benefits to modern TightSeal windows that you’re not enjoying.
- Superior Energy Efficiency
- American-Made & Wisconsin-Tough
- Superior Noise Reduction
- Updated Aesthetic Value (Many Options!)
Depending on where you live in Milwaukee Metro, windows should last for around two decades. Even if they were high-end back then, 20 years is a good rule of thumb. After that, according to material science and manufacturer data, things start to break down, and you need to catch up on window technology.
Now might be a good time to replace them if it’s been that long since they’ve been addressed.
And keep in mind that 20-year number assumes your installation was done with impeccable attention to detail. Even then, we don’t use the same materials these days. Get scheduled for a TightSeal inspection to get the real scoop on the condition of your windows.
There’s Visible Damage.
Can you see the damage? Have you seen it for a while, but it’s worsening?
- Rotting and frame damage.
- Extensive condensation.
- Degraded caulking.
- Fog inside panes of glass.
- Low functionality (hard to open and close).
- Low visibility (poor quality glass).
Windows show their wear and tear in a variety of ways.
If you see this kind of thing, again, have TightSeal send one of our window specialists out to look. They’ll give your windows a full inspection and lay out the line-by-line truth for you. Depending on the severity of the issue(s), a repair might be all that’s needed.
If it’s more severe or could lead to more serious issues, it’s time to look at our premium window replacement options (the fun part!).
