Window Replacement in Haddonfield, NJ

Windows won’t last forever. When they start to fail, they can drive up your energy bills and cause other problems. Here are just a few signs to look out for: 

1. Window age – How long your windows last depends on the type you have, as well as installation quality and maintenance. Here are the average lifespans: fiberglass (30 years), vinyl (20 years), wood (15 years), aluminum (15 years). 
2. Low-quality windows – Low-grade windows or ones that weren’t installed properly won’t last as long. If your home has “builder-grade” windows, expect them to have a shorter lifespan. 
3. Extreme weather – Extreme weather can cause windows to fail sooner, such as very high or low temperatures or high humidity. 
4. Lack of maintenance – Different types of windows have different maintenance needs. Wood windows require the most amount of maintenance. If you haven’t kept up with it, yours may not last as long. 
5. Failed seals – If your window’s seals have failed, you’ll notice condensation between panes, or more seeping in around the frame.
6. Damaged frames – If your window frames are warped, cracked or rotting, it’s time to start planning for replacement. 
7. Hard to open – If you’re having trouble opening, closing or locking your windows, there may be a problem with the frame.
