If you’re considering pushing your replacement window needs to the top of your list before the colder weather, Stanek® Windows can help. Consider these 5 tips for installing replacement windows before the fall.

1. Decide Whether to Replace, or Not to Replace

There are many ways to tell if your windows are ready to be replaced, and just as many risks involved in not replacing them when they are due. If you are experiencing any of the problems below, it may be time to consider making this worthwhile investment.

  • Drafty windows? Letting in excess air during extremely hot or cold temperatures can contribute to increasing energy expenses.
  • Tired of putting up plastic? Covering your drafty windows with plastic is not only cumbersome, it doesn’t help all that much. You might not feel quite the draft but your heat and conditioned air is escaping.
  • Has the opening and closing of your windows become more difficult? Safety can be jeopardized when locks, appropriate fit and frame stability are at risk.
  • Excessive moisture accumulation? When moisture collects on the inside of your home, you are more susceptible to mold, mildew and water damage threats.

3. Think About Your Budget

Replacement windows are an investment that will pay off, both in the short and long term. However, you must consider your budget before tackling a project like this.

Whatever you decide to do, Stanek Windows offers a variety of low monthly payment plans so your replacement window project will fit comfortably within your budget.

4. Consider a Timeframe

While your windows can be replaced year-round, the warmer months can be ideal in order to maintain maximum comfort in your home during the installation process. Whether you are replacing one or all of your windows, Stanek® uses a professional crew to help maximize efficiency and give your home its desired look and feel.
