Broken glass panes, faulty windows that won’t open or close all the way and air leaks everywhere—these are just a few of the signs that it’s time to shop for window replacement in Petaluma. However, before you start browsing through Northwest Exterior’s product pages for options, here are a few things you’ll want to remember.
Determine the cause
Your windows may not be the reason behind your high energy consumption bills. Find out what’s causing the problem just in case your windows are fine. Call a contractor to check.
Will repairs work?
Not all windows need to be replaced. A few repairs done by a competent contractor can save your windows from irreversible damage, Time suggests. However, if that’s not the case, then don’t force your windows to work far longer than they should. Know when it’s time to replace your windows and do it. Then be ready to shop for replacements.
Pick energy-efficient designs
Once it’s been confirmed that your windows are causing your energy bills to skyrocket, time to look for replacements. But don’t just buy windows in the same style or design. Explore your options. Check out energy-efficient choices. These may cost you back a bit more than normal, but they’re going to be well worth it in the end. If the thought of long-term cost-savings appeals to you, then check these out when you scout around for a window replacement in Petaluma.
Blend in with the rest
Don’t just shop for replacements without factoring in the style and ambiance of your property. Look for windows that look right at home in your kitchen, bedroom or living room. Have an eye for the kind of style and design that works with your interiors. The last thing you want to happen is for your new windows to stand out like a sore thumb.
