During the fall season, it seems as though your to-do list just keeps getting longer. In an area with cold winters, it is easy to understand why you would want to tackle most of your home renovations while the weather is pleasant. 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.
2. Consider Your Personal Preferences
With a variety of window styles and 25 custom window shapes to choose from, Stanek® Windows really does have something for everyone. We offer endless custom options so we can tailor your windows to fit your home and your individual sense of style. Don’t see what you’re looking for here? Just ask!

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. Does it make sense for you to replace the most problematic windows first or the entire house? Whatever you decide to do, Stanek Windows offers a variety of zero interest and 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. If you do need or want to replace you windows in the dead of winter, we utilize a Cold Weather Installation Process to minimize your home’s exposure to the elements during the actual installation.
