Signs That Your Windows May Need to be Replaced

From Falls Church to Fairfax, Manassas to Middleburg, when the weather gets warmer Northern Virginia homeowners start thinking of ways to improve their homes. One very popular home-improvement job in our area is window replacement. There are a few determining factors that will help you decide if window replacement makes sense for your home. The following are just a few telltale signs that your windows need replacement:

• Condensation or Frost Buildup -- Condensation usually develops when insufficient insulation or poor thermal material allows for a quick transition from hot to cold air.
• Drafts - In some cases you will actually be able to feel the air coming in through a closed window. Other times, you may not feel the draft. To be certain, there is a simple way to check for drafts: Hold a lighted candle in front of the window's edge. If the candle flickers or even goes out, this is a sign that your weather stripping is gone and drafts are coming in through the window.
• Outside Noise - Old single-pane glass does not provide good protection against outside noise.
• Appearance - If you an unhappy with the appearance of your windows and they look old or deteriorated, this could be a reason to replace your windows. In older homes, if there is much exposure to UV rays or extreme weathers, the exterior frames may expand and contract causing the paint to peel.
